Lead is present in various parts of our environment, including air, soil, water, and homes.

Pinnacle Laboratory is pleased to announce that it will soon be expanding its offered services with the inclusion of Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analysis for lead. Stay tuned for upcoming news on this new service!
