In a recent paper published in Chemical Communications, Yi Lu and his collaborators report that they have fashioned a viable, easy-to-use dipstick test that, unlike other methods, requires no instrumentation or laboratory work and that meets EPA guidelines for lead detection. The dipstick test shows a color change to red when lead is detected at one milligram per square centimeter and has been shown to be effective even if the lead-based paint has been repeatedly painted over.

U. ILLINOIS (US)—Yi Lu took another researcher’s discovery about a new way to achieve catalytic reactions and turned it on its head—developing a simple, low-cost lead paint detection method for home and official use. Continue…
