Lead Consulting

LCA, Inc. provides comprehensive lead-based paint (LBP) Surveys, Inspections, and Risk Assessments. These surveys are extensive and involve the identification and analysis of potential areas that may contain LBP. EPA and State Certified Lead Inspectors and Risk Assessors perform the work to meet various OSHA, HUD, and EPA regulatory requirements.

We perform lead in soil, lead in drinking water, and other various testing and reporting services,. However, the primary method for the detection of LBP is through the use of an x-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrum analyzer. This XRF uses x-rays to penetrate the surface being surveyed without disturbing or damaging the surface and produces an instantaneous read-out describing the LBP content in milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm2). The XRF spectrum analyzer allows the operator to download the information to a personal computer to create a results table. Using an XRF analyzer significantly reduces the LBP survey fees. LCA, Inc. provides a final report for each investigation that includes the scope of work, sampling procedures, a description of the structure, analysis of results, and recommendations based on findings.
