| Abstract |
A large field study was conducted to compare three methods commonly used to test for lead in paint: portable X-ray fluoroescence (XRF) instruments, lead paint test kits, and laboratory analysis of paint chip samples. The study concludes that use of K-shell XRFs, with laboratory confirmation of readings designated as inconclusive and with correction of substrate biases where appropriate, is an acceptable way to classify painted architectural components versus the federal threshold of 1.0 mg/sq cm. The study concludes that test kits should not be used to test for lead in paint. No test kit in the study achieved low rates of both false positive and false negative results. |
