Incident Details
  • Incident Description: I bought a lead test kit that glows green upon the detection of lead in a product. "Glowing lead tests or glow lead tests are a new class of chemical lead detection technology, developed first in 2018, a mixture of Methylamine Hydrobromide, an acid and rubbing alcohol. Detects lead by converting the lead atoms into tiny crystals." and I was testing things around the house and found this mug that glows bright green aka lots of lead.
