🧑‍🏭🏗️ Lead from your job or hobby can follow you home!

Did you know that some jobs and hobbies can expose you to lead dust and fumes? It can stick to your clothes, shoes, hair, skin, and personal items. This “take-home lead” can transfer to your vehicle, carpet, floors, and furniture—putting your family at risk for lead exposure.

Protect your family by preventing the spread of take-home lead today! 🧑‍🧑‍🧒

📚 We had a great time at NOHME's Back to School Event connecting with students, parents, and community members!

Our team shared lead safety resources, answered questions about lead exposure, and demonstrated our handheld XRF analyzer by testing household items for lead and other heavy metals. From ceramic dishes to jewelry and even car keys, families got a firsthand look at how XRF technology can help identify potential sources of lead exposure.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, and thank you to NOHME for hosting another wonderful community event. We look forward to seeing you at future outreach events across Nevada! 💙

Small bites, big impact 🥦 A healthy, balanced diet can help protect children from lead exposure—especially when it includes nutrients like calcium, iron, vitamin C, and zinc.

Why? Because when kids don’t get enough of these nutrients, their bodies are more likely to absorb lead instead. That’s why good nutrition is a key step in lead prevention 💪
