My name is Jeff I called today and spoke with Vanessa. I was in a hurry to get asbestos testing as soon as possible. She was more than accommodating. She made several calls to help me coordinate to have testing done. She went above and beyond. Not only did she get it scheduled she got it scheduled for the same day. She is an amazing asset to your company. Make sure you hang onto her.. I would highly recommend this company to everyone. They have true Customer Service, which is hard to find these days.

I spoke with Vanessa - they were honest, transparent with me which I really appreciate. I had some questions about lead testing and they were straight shooters with me. Definitely recommend them and will use their business in the future.

When Should You Test Your Items?

Lead-based coatings, glazes, and paints are still found in:

  • Antique dishes, cups, and cookware
  • Painted or enamel-coated toys and jewelry
  • Imported ceramics and vintage kitchenware
  • Decorative home items used near children
  • Items with unknown materials or origin

If your item is vintage, imported, or intended for food use or children’s access—it should be tested.

Why XRF Testing Matters

Lead is toxic even in small doses, especially for children and pregnant women. It can enter the body through:

  • Eating from contaminated dishes
  • Hand-to-mouth contact from toys or jewelry
  • Handling decorative items that shed dust or flakes

XRF testing allows you to know exactly what’s safe to use, display, or donate—instantly and without sending anything to a lab.

What Can Be Tested?

We can test a wide variety of solid, non-porous items, including:

  • Plates, bowls, mugs, and serving trays
  • Glassware, pressed or colored glass
  • Cookware, pots, and bakeware
  • Painted or metal toys
  • Jewelry (costume, antique, imported)
  • Furniture hardware, painted decor, and collectibles
  • Ceramics or porcelain with glazes or patterns

Have something not listed? Reach out—we can likely test it too.


How the Inspection Works

  1. You bring the items or request an on-site visit
  2. Our certified tech screens each item with the XRF analyzer
  3. Results appear immediately and are recorded
  4. You’ll know if an item contains lead—on the spot

The entire process is non-invasive, safe, and precise.

Health Risks of Lead in Household Items

Even tiny amounts of lead can lead to:

  • Developmental delays and reduced IQ in children
  • Behavioral problems
  • Kidney damage, fertility issues, and high blood pressure
  • Harm to unborn children during pregnancy

Many items were not subject to U.S. safety standards—especially if imported or made before the 1980s.

How EnvioCore Can Help

We help:

  • Families screen household items before use
  • Collectors validate antiques and vintage goods
  • Schools, museums, and childcare centers ensure compliance
  • Resellers confirm safety before donation or sale

You’ll receive:

  • Instant, certified results
  • Digital report with pass/fail status for each item
  • Expert guidance on safe use, disposal, or display
  • Discretion and confidentiality—no judgments

Preparing for Your XRF Item Inspection

To make your session fast and smooth:

  • Clean and dry all items before testing
  • Group similar items together
  • Note which items are used for food, kids, or handling
  • Tell us if any have high historical or monetary value

We handle everything else.

Final Report Includes:

  • List of all tested items and whether they contain lead
  • Notes on condition and usage concern (e.g., food-safe or not)
  • Clear go/no-go results for each object
  • Digital PDF summary within 24 hours

Item & Antique Lead Testing – FAQs

Absolutely. These are among the most common lead-positive items we test.

Results are provided immediately—on the spot.

What happens if an item tests positive for lead?
