Lead-safety Message: Watch out! What is dumped in the sea will pollute seawater and whales and seafood forever! In September 1997 the Pasminco lead zinc smelter in Hobart stopped dumping jarosite (a waste product containing lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic) at sea, after making 9,089 dumpings (a total of 2.4million tonnes) since 6^th March 1984.

Lead-safety Message: Just because Australia finally banned lead paint on 1^st October 2021 doesn’t make all the existing lead paint go away! Protect yourself, your children, pets, soil, backyard chickens and your neighbours by lead testing paint before lead-safely preparing and repainting, and testing soil and floor dust wipes after, with a LEAD Group Kit.
