Does Wood Have Lead In It at Claire Mary blog

Does Wood Have Lead In It. We’re expecting our first kid in december, so finally had the house checked, but now we are devastated. I’ve been sanding down a wood piece from the 1800’s. I typically see wood stains of this era (in a range of colors/shades) testing positive for lead at levels as high as 1,500 ppm (or higher). Lead is very heavy and unless you are machine sanding or cutting or eating the wood it. Old wood varnish can potentially contain lead, especially if it was manufactured before laws were enacted to restrict the use of lead in household. So, salvaged building materials — reclaimed wood planks and beams, architectural accents, painted tin panels, faucets and other items — commonly have unsafe levels of lead. Surprisingly, lead can be found in new housewares too, but hopefully less of it. I performed two lead tests that came up negative but i’m still worried. Yes there is likely lead in stains prior to 1980ish.
