what kind of bathtubs

[Guest guest]

I believe it is the older bathtubs that are more at risk, I live in an old house

with the original bathtub, and apparently it was coated in Leaded porcelain, and

by the time we got here it was covered in pitted kind of chipped Leaded

porcelain. My Landlord turned white when I told him about Sam, and what I found,

he had no idea, and after doing some research found out Leaded porcelain in

bathtubs was used as recently as 12 years ago. But it seems like it is still

everywhere per Halehs experience. I also wanted to share that I found it in the

very corners of my window sills, for what that is worth. Maybe check, for leaded

glass, or possibly even in the soil. This is a concern for me because my son

eats dirt, if he can, and plays in it exclusive of other toys. If you do find

it in the bathtub, check into the refinishing that Josie has mentioned. We had

that done and it did the trick, no positive test. Sam had a lot of Epsom salt

baths in this toxic bathtub, and I don't quite understand the science of it, how

does the epsom salts increase the lead absorption.? I know that sounds dumb, but

I just wanted tyo know. Thanks Libby
