According to Mr. Dave Jacobs, Director of the HUD Office of Lead-Based Paint Abatement and Poisoning Prevention, and the principal author of the HUD Guidelines For The Evaluation And Control Of Lead Based Paint Hazards In Housing, "One of the best ways to prevent childhood lead poisoning is a good in-place management or essential maintenance practices program to control lead-contaminated dust at the source where children come in contact with lead."
Ledizolv® is The Lead-Specific DetergentTM intended for cleaning lead-contaminated dust, the primary source of lead poisoning. LSZ, Inc., devoted 2 ½ years and substantial resources in the development of this product. The focus of our research and development was to invent a lead-specific cleaner that would achieve maximum lead-contaminated dust (LCD) removal, while at the same time having excellent functional, environmental and health safety characteristics.
The result of our R&D is Ledizolv® -- a lead-specific, phosphate-free, lead-dissolving detergent.
The lead-specific nature of Ledizolv® has been proven in thousands of clearance tests and extensive field studies. These tests have shown Ledizolv® to be a superior and more appropriate cleaner in removing LCD than tri-sodium-phosphate (TSP) and other phosphate-containing and/or multi-purpose cleaners.
Unlike Ledizolv®, TSP does not dissolve any lead at all. Instead, TSP can form an insoluble precipitate, lead phosphate, which according to the Merck Index 11th edition, "may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen." Using TSP also can necessitate multiple cleanings in order to achieve HUD clearance criteria. Additionally, because of environmental and worker safety concerns, virtually all states have restricted and/or banned the use of phosphate-containing cleaners.
Ledizolv®, on the other hand, is lead-dissolving, successfully removes LCD and passes virtually all clearance tests. Also, because it is phosphate-free and biodegradable, Ledizolv® does not create any environmental or worker hazards. Its mild pH (near neutral) means Ledizolv® will not damage painted surfaces and floors like phosphate-containing and/or multi-purpose cleaners can.
Because Ledizolv® is an established lead-specific cleaner, many contractors and lead poisoning prevention professionals worldwide are using Ledizolv®exclusively in their lead poisoning prevention programs. Skeptical lead poisoning prevention professionals have scrutinized our product claims and are pleased with their findings and, most importantly, are pleased with Ledizolv®'s effectiveness in removing LCD. There is no other product on the market that is as safe and effective in removing LCD.
