Wipes for Disclosing the Presence of Lead

The Full Disclosure® Kit includes wipes (conform to ASTM E1792), spray bottle of acetic
acid, spray bottles of deionized water, vials of Disclosing Powder, waxed paper sheets, and
pairs of disposable nitrile gloves (pictured above). The Full Disclosure Kit for Laboratory
Analysis includes all the above items, sample collection vials, labels, and disposable templates.

Developed and patented* by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Full Disclosure Lead Wipes† indicate the presence of lead quickly and
easily by displaying a pink or red color when lead is present on skin,
specifically hands, or surfaces. This indicates that further hand washing or
surface cleaning is necessary to completely remove lead.
Lead
Wipes can also be sent to a laboratory for quantitative analysis of lead content.
* U.S. Patent No. 6,248,593
† Specified in NIOSH Method 9105

Sampling for Lead on Skin or Surfaces
Follow all steps of the instructions carefully.
Use the nitrile gloves provided in the kit when preparing the developing
solution or handling wipes before and after sampling to avoid cross
contamination. If performing successive wipe samples, use a new pair
of clean gloves for each sample.
Handling, storage, and disposal instructions for all materials are on
page 5.
Full Disclosure was designed to detect the presence of elemental lead
and other easily solubilized lead compounds. The extraction solution
will not solubilize all lead compounds. Full Disclosure is suitable for
elemental lead, lead nitrate, lead sulfate, lead acetate, and lead oxides.
Full Disclosure was not designed nor intended to detect lead chromates,
alkyl lead (i.e., tetraethyllead [TEL] or tetramethyllead [TML]), or other
less easily solubilized compounds of lead.
Full Disclosure is not suitable for the detection of lead in paint, paint
chips, on painted surfaces, or embedded in material such as plastic.

1. Preparation:
•

Chill the spray bottle of deionized water (labeled Developing Solution
#3) in an ice bath or refrigerator to approximately 35 F (2 C). Do not
freeze.

•

While wearing gloves,
tap one vial containing
Disclosing Powder #1
to dislodge adhered
particles from the walls
of the vial. Pour the
entire contents of
the vial containing
Disclosing Powder #1
into the spray bottle of
chilled deionized water
(labeled Developing
Solution #3). Cap the
bottle and shake until
thoroughly mixed. The
solution will turn an
orange color.

Pour one vial of Disclosing
Powder #1 into Developing
Solution #3 spray bottle.

2

Shake well to mix.

•

Mixed Developing Solution will remain active for several hours at
room temperature and for 10 days in refrigeration. Once expired,
discard solution, rinse and save spray nozzle. Use the additional bottle
of deionized water with saved spray nozzle and additional vial of
Disclosing Powder to mix a second batch of Developing Solution in
the second bottle labeled "Developing Solution #3." Follow Preparation
instructions.

2. Taking the Sample:
•

•

On skin:
Open the wipe packet and unfold the wipe.
Wipe both hands or a selected skin surface for
30 seconds using only one side of the wipe.
Use normal hand washing pressure.

Wipe hands or skin for 30 seconds using one side of wipe.

On surfaces:
With gloved hands,
unfold the wipe.
Using only one
side of the wipe,
thoroughly wipe a
designated area of
the surface using
repeated horizontal
motions. Wipe the
same surface area
again using the same
Wipe surface area horizonWipe safety glasses, phones,
tally, then vertically using one

one side of wipe.
but wiping at a right
angle to the first
wiping motion. Wipes
may also be used on
irregular surfaces such as shoes or frames of glasses.
When taking surface samples that are to be
sent to a laboratory for analysis (Lab Analysis
Kit) use a template to specify the sample area.
Use a new pair of clean gloves for successive
wipe samples.

Use a template to specify
sample area for samples to be
sent to a lab.

3. Reading the Results:
•

Spread the wipe, sample (soiled) side facing
up, on a piece of pre-cut waxed paper.

Place wipe, sample side up, on
waxed paper.

•

Before using either spray bottle, prime by
aiming the nozzle into a garbage can and
depressing it until a fine spray appears.

•

Using Extraction Solution #2, spray the
area of the wipe with the greatest soiling by
depressing the pump nozzle at least 3 times.

•

Aim at soiled wipe and
depress nozzle 3 times.

Using prepared Developing Solution #3, spray the
same area of the wipe by depressing the pump
nozzle at least 2 times.

Aim at soiled wipe and
depress nozzle 2 times.

•

Read the results immediately. The presence of lead below the lower
limit of visual identification is indicated in the sample area by a yellow
to deep orange color. The presence of lead above the lower limit of
visual identification is indicated in the sample area by a pink or red
color. The color bloom appears within seconds and begins to fade
quickly as the wipe dries. For information on other compounds that may
cause a color change, see Interferences on p. 7.

Interferences
Full Disclosure may also display a color reaction to the following compounds, if
present:
•
•
•
•
•

Silver
Cadmium
Barium
Mercury
Titanium

However, the reaction would only occur with higher concentrations of these
compounds (less sensitivity than that of lead).
Silver, titanium, and mercury will cause a red hue (reddish-purple to hot pink)
that is different from that displayed with lead. Tin shows an opaque white color
at high concentrations. If it is suspected that these other elements are present,
use other testing methods to determine their presence and concentration prior to
using Full Disclosure for lead.
