Lead Sample Analysis
Lead Analysis Coordinated Through ETL
Environmental projects often involve more than one potential hazard. A single investigation may require asbestos, mold, combustion, and lead samples, creating additional paperwork and shipping when each material must be sent to a different laboratory.
ETL provides a convenient way to include lead samples with your other environmental laboratory submissions.
How Lead Analysis Through ETL Works
ETL does not perform lead analysis in-house. Lead samples submitted to ETL are coordinated and transferred to our sister laboratory, Accurate Analytical Testing, where the analysis is performed and reported.
One Submission for Multiple Environmental Hazards
Clients may mail or deliver lead samples to ETL alongside asbestos, mold, combustion, or other environmental samples. ETL processes eligible samples through our laboratory and coordinates the transfer of lead samples to Accurate Analytical Testing.
This arrangement can simplify shipping, sample intake, and laboratory communication for projects involving several environmental concerns.
Lead Analysis May Support
- Lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments
- Renovation and demolition projects
- Post-remediation dust wipe testing
- Housing and property compliance programs
- Drinking water testing
- Environmental investigations involving multiple hazards
