Test Results: Please search for the most recent assessment results. Check back for letters as the results are continually being updated.

How to read the results: 

• Click on a link below
• Use the definitions to the right to interpret the information
• *Note: Only schools that have been evaluated for a lead safe project have a link. If there is no link, that school has not been evaluated yet. Please check back often for updates.

Definitions

• Element = Some campuses have multiple buildings (main building, annex, little school house, etc.). Element denotes the structure that the information is referring to. The main building is typically denoted as “1”.
• On-Site Room Name = The present day room label/number/assignment as observed the day of the evaluation.
• Primary Component = The surface being described: W1, W2, W3, W4, Ceiling or Floor. W1, W2, W3, W4 refer to the door wall, left wall, front wall, and right wall respectively upon entering the room.
• Substrate Material = The type of material underneath the painted surface.
• Primary Component Damage Quantity (sf) = Total area, in square feet, of damaged paint on any assessed surface.
• XRF Reading = Our consultants use X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) to test surfaces for lead presence.  This column shows the results of the XRF tests. The tests produce milligrams per square centimeter measurements.  In Philadelphia, the threshold for whether or not a surface is considered to contain lead presence is 0.7 mg/cm2.  Any reading above that threshold indicates lead presence and anything below indicates no lead presence.
• Additional Component = Every painted surface in a space beyond the walls, including: doors, frames, rails, radiators, baseboards, window sills, etc.

Paint & Plaster Stabilization

In addition to our Lead Safe Certification program, we also perform full paint and plaster stabilization projects at certain schools. Visit the Paint & Plaster Stabilization page for more information!
