EPA Resource Conservation & Recovery Act for non-hazardous leachable lead levels is 5.00 mg/l. LEAD-OUT ® tackles the toughest lead problems and can reduce hazardous lead levels from up to 400 mg/l to “non-detect”. Disposing of non-hazardous paint waste is significantly cheaper than transporting and disposing hazardous lead paint waste.  

Here is an example where a small amount of LEAD-OUT® was used to treat lead paint from the interior and exterior of a house.  The treated material has lead levels of 3.55 mg/l, which is below EPA regulatory limits. This allows the contractor to dispose of the waste as non-hazardous, saving money in the process.  You can also see that the pH level is neutral around 6.
