Even at low levels, lead may cause a range of health effects including behavioral problems and learning disabilities, especially in young children.  The US EPA recommends schools and day care centers test for lead and some states like Illinois require testing. Illinois requires schools built before January 1, 2000 test their water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many samples do I need to take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is recommended that a minimum two (2) samples be collected from each water source that can potentially be used for drinking and\/or food preparation.  This includes all taps, faucets, water fountains and wash basins excluding bathroom sinks and janitorial wash basins.  A \"first-draw\" sample should be collected after the water system has been standing for 8-18 hours.  The second \"flush\" sample should be taken after the first-draw sample and after the water has run for 30 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach location, building, room and water source type should be identified and coded.  With your order, Suburban Laboratories will provide you with a field sampling spreadsheet that allows you to easily code each water source and record sample information.  After you know the number of sources, you are ready to order test kits.  You will need to order 2 sample containers for each water source identified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick here to download \u003ca title=\"School Sampling for Lead in Drinking Water\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/6653\/files\/SCHOOL_SAMPLING_IN_6_EASY_STEPS_Rev_3-11-17.pdf?12068561781180636702\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSchool Sampling in 6 Easy Steps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, a convenient guide for sampling and testing schools:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"School Sampling in 6 Easy Steps\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/6653\/files\/SCHOOL_SAMPLING_IN_6_EASY_STEPS_Rev_3-11-17.pdf?12068561781180636702\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/6653\/files\/School-Sampling_compact.png?v=1486675597\" alt=\"School Sampling in 6 Easy Steps\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick here to download our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/6653\/files\/IL_Schools_Master_v5.xlsx?9601074349952475294\"\u003eField Sample Data Form\u003c\/a\u003e to record your sample information and submit to the laboratory:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"School Sampling in 6 Easy Steps\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/6653\/files\/SCHOOL_SAMPLING_IN_6_EASY_STEPS_Rev_3-11-17.pdf?12068561781180636702\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"school drinking water lead sampling field sample data form\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/6653\/files\/IL_Schools_Master_v5.xlsx?9601074349952475294\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/6653\/files\/Form_Icon_compact.png?v=1511966988\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour test kit will include a sample bottle for each sample, easy to follow sample collection instructions and a spreadsheet for coding your water sources and recorded sample information.
