The Community Science SoilSHOP is officially closed for the season! We want to thank everyone who sent their soil samples in - we’ve received nearly 300 samples. With help from the DPH and EPA, we are screening the samples for lead right now, and we’ll send out results as soon as they’re ready. If you didn’t send samples in, but you still want your soil tested, we’ll be having another Community Science SoilSHOP in the spring! Follow us for more updates and exact dates of the spring soilSHOP! Find more information at https://atlsoilsafety.com/community-science-soilshop/ #LeadFreeKids

This week is National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week. One potential exposure pathway for lead is through soil. Right now, any Georgia residents can send samples of their soil to Saikawa Lab to be screened for lead, for free! Visit atlsoilsafety.com/community-science-soilshop/ to learn more. #nlppw2020 #leadfreekids

Community Science SoilSHOP is still going on! We now have several drop-off sites, located at @atlbotanical, @southfaceinst, @crkeeper, @cobbcountywater, and @gwinnettgov. You can also still ship your samples to us! Find addresses and dates on our website atlsoilsafety.com/community-science-soilshop/
