Virtual presentation on the updates from EPA since the discontinuation of the 3M Lead Check test.
Lead Paint or Not Lead Paint – That is the Question*
Joy Finch, Greenville Technical College
The EPA Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) regulations allow Certified Renovators to test whether or not lead is present using EPA-recognized lead test kits, but in 2023 3M discontinued production of the LeadCheck™ swabs due to supply chain issues. This presentation will review data comparing LeadCheck swab results to other lead test kits that are still available, X-ray Fluorescence analysis, and laboratory paint chip testing and include a discussion of remaining options for identifying lead paint prior to RRP work.
