Eliminate lead dust and lead poisoning by using a lead abatement detergent.
Ledizolv® is THE LEAD-SPECIFIC DETERGENT scientifically formulated for use in the clean-up and control of
lead dust and lead poisoning hazards. It's a perfect solution for people living or working in lead
poisoned environments; contractors working on renovation, maintenance, or
lead abatement; and government and health agencies working to solve lead
problems.
Millions of homes, schools, day care centers and other buildings
are in need of lead abatement because their structures contain lead
based paint and/or other sources of lead dust and lead poisoning hazards. This dust is the primary cause of childhood lead poisoning, which is the
leading environmental health risk to young children. According to HUD and EPA, the best way to make a home lead-safe is to perform
lead abatement on a regular basis with a lead-specific detergent.
Lead
Dust and Lead Poisoning
Lead (Pb) is a basic chemical element, which can be combined with other substances to form lead compounds. A bluish-white metal of bright luster, lead is very soft, highly malleable, ductile, has a low melting point and is resistant to corrosion. These characteristics brought lead into common usage for a variety of products, some of which have included: gasoline, paint, plumbing, fine crystal, electric cable insulation, storage batteries, ammunition and insecticides. However, due to increased awareness and growing concern about the devastating health hazards lead poses, the United States federal government began placing restrictions on the use of lead in some products, including gasoline, insecticides and paint in housing, in the 1970s.
Today,
lead poisoning is the leading environmental health risk in America, particularly
in young children. The most common lead hazard is lead dust. This dust, which
can be so tiny that it is invisible to the naked eye, becomes airborne and
surface adherent, making it easily accessible, especially for young children, to
ingest and/or inhale.
Health Risks of Lead Poisoning
Lead is a toxin that has the ability to impede the development and function of every organ and system in the body. Once it enters the body, lead travels through the bloodstream. A small portion of the ingested lead remains in the bloodstream, while some is deposited and stored in the kidneys and brain. Most, however, is stored in the bones. This lead moves in and out of the bones as the body absorbs nutrients and grows. Lead stays in the body for a long time. The "half life" of lead in bone, or the time it takes half of the amount of lead stored in bones to leave the body, can be more than twenty years. Therefore, one can experience lead poisoning through high exposure to a lead hazard during a short period of time (acute), or through low exposure over a long period of time (chronic). Even tiny amounts of lead can be a hazard to a person's health, and its effects on the body can be devastating and irreversible.
Health Risks To Children
The Center
for Disease Control estimates that nearly two million American children under
the age of six have at least low-level lead poisoning because of exposure to
lead hazards. The CDC also estimates that 10% of all children suffer from lead
poisoning. Even children who appear to be healthy can have high levels of lead
in their bodies. Children are usually lead poisoned by ingesting the invisible
lead dust through normal hand-to-mouth activity. A small child may eat paint
chips or soil that contains lead. Children also are likely to place their hands
or other objects covered with lead-contaminated dust into their mouths. They can
breathe in lead dust, especially during renovations that disturb painted
surfaces. Lead poses a more serious threat to children than to adults because
their growing bodies absorb more lead than adult's bodies, and their brains and
nervous systems are more sensitive to the damaging effects of lead hazards. The
blood lead level of concern is 10 µg/dl or greater.
Lead Abatement
LSZ, Inc., devoted 2 ˝ years and substantial resources in the development of this product. The focus of our research and development was to invent a lead-specific cleaner
for lead abatement that would achieve maximum lead-contaminated dust 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 that helps prevent lead dust and lead poisoning.
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.
