Testing for Lead in Black Rubber Feed Bowls
Thanks to the folks at BackYardChickens.com for all their assistance and patience in this thread:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/debunked-toxic-levels-of-lead-in-black-rubber-feed-bowl-water-30-mg-l-2000-times-epa-limits.1620309/
About a week ago I saw this video at @AcresOfAdventure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGjeand_0pM
In which he was talking about possible lead continuation coming from the ubiquitous Black Rubber Feed Bowls that most of us use.
I ran my own test using common well water test strips that I had on hand, and those strips showed a hazardous level of lead. I then posted a video warning folks of this hazard on my channel and shared it on BackYardChickens.com
I received a lot of useful suggestions regrading my 'unscientific testing' and this video is an attempt to retest more accurately.
After posting my initial and then conflicting test results, I was made aware of this study:
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.0c07614
which basically points out that any At Home Lead Testing Kit is pretty much useless.
So, after significant time and effort, the results are inconclusive, and I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of lead in these black rubber bowls.
Hopefully someone with the proper scientific equipment can test a variety of these bowls and answer the questions regarding their safety.
