Environmental Heavy Metals Testing in Indoor Environments
Heavy metals are toxic elements that can accumulate in the human body over time, leading to serious health risks. Our Environmental Heavy Metals Testing service helps identify and quantify the presence of harmful metals in your indoor environment — both in the air you breathe and on the surfaces you touch.
Overview
Exposure to heavy metals can occur through inhalation of dust particles or contact with contaminated surfaces. Long-term exposure, even at low levels, may affect the nervous system, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs. Detecting and controlling these contaminants is essential for maintaining a safe indoor environment, especially in homes, offices, schools, and healthcare facilities.
Why Test for Heavy Metals?
Our comprehensive analysis covers the following metals commonly found in indoor settings:
- Cadmium (Cd) – Found in paints, plastics, and batteries; highly toxic to kidneys and lungs.
- Cobalt (Co) – Used in pigments and alloys; overexposure can affect the heart and lungs.
- Copper (Cu) – Present in plumbing and electrical materials; high levels can cause gastrointestinal irritation.
- Lead (Pb) – Often from old paint, dust, and pipes; a major neurotoxin, especially harmful to children.
- Manganese (Mn) – Naturally occurring but excessive levels can impact the nervous system.
- Mercury (Hg) – Found in fluorescent lamps and thermometers; vapor exposure can harm the brain and kidneys.
- Nickel (Ni) – Present in metal coatings and furniture; can cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues.
- Zinc (Zn) – Common in coatings and galvanization; essential in trace amounts but harmful at high concentrations.
