( Quick Test for Lead in Paint )
Many years ago paint manufacturers discovered they could both save money and improve various characteristics of their products by using lead as an ingredient in their paint mixtures. At the time, and although scientists and health officials around the world had hard evidence demonstrating lead's toxic effects on the human body, not too many people saw the dangers of adding lead to paint. People believed that lead in paint posed no threat to humans once it had dried. Later studies proved that notion completely incorrect. Children began showing signs of lead poisoning despite never having come in contact with any 'dangerous' sources of lead. After much investigation, it came to light that many of the affected children had played with, chewed on and in some cases swallowed paint chips which had fallen off of radiators, window sills, etc.
