Reduce the Lead RiskReduce the Risk of Contamination. The initial step in preventing lead poisoning is determining whether or not your house and household items contain lead. All suspected surfaces and dishware should be tested. Home test kits provide a simple, accurate and easy first line of defense against lead contamination. The Lead Surface Test Kit and Professional Test Kit for Paint and Dust are safe, non toxic lead test kits.
Lead testsBlood lead tests the workplace if lead contamination is a possibility. Family members also may be screened because lead can be carried home on clothing. The body tries to excrete toxins in various ways. One way that heavy metals can be excreted is through the hair. To test for lead and other heavy metals, a sample of hair is taken near the nape of the neck. The higher the test result, the more lead is in your blood. However, the amount of lead in the blood does not necessarily reflect the total amount of lead in your body. Test your water with a lead detection product. If your lead test comes back positive, the best way to handle the problem is to find the source and replace it.
 2010-03-14 Atlanta panel selects test security firm to lead investigationAccording to a state report released last month, 191 Georgia schools required investigation because they showed unusual patterns of erasures -- unusually large numbers of wrong answers changed to the correct ones -- on the states Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests last spring. The tests are taken by students in first through eighth grade and are used to help determine whether schools meet federal benchmarks. As part of the investigation, the company will travel to Indianapolis to view Atlantas CRCT test answer sheets, which are in a secure warehouse controlled by CTB-McGraw Hill, the testing contractor. The electronic data is more valuable, Fremer said, but he is also interested in unusual marks on the sheets, such as those that indicate a student crossed out an answer as he decided which to choose. An Atlanta oversight panel on Friday hired a firm known nationally for the same type of testing analysis the state used to identify 58 city schools for possible cheating on state tests. - Atlanta panel selects test security firm lead investigation News AJC Atlanta Georgia TopNews TopStory

2010-03-05 UAB Cancer Center, Urologists Affirm Men Should Take Lead in Deciding to Test for Prostate CancerThe new guidelines provide detailed advice on the kind of information that should be discussed regarding the pros and cons of the screening tests, including the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a digital rectal exam. The guidelines authors recommend an honest discussion of these issues and point out the need to distribute educational materials, including brochures or a video, to better explain uncertainties, risks and benefits of the tests. For men unable to make a decision about screening after these conversations, the ACS recommends a doctor decide whether or not to screen based on knowledge of a patients health preferences and values. After a decision to screen is made, the new guidelines make the digital rectal exam portion of the testing optional, and they say it is acceptable to extend the period between screenings for men with low PSA levels.
