It is primarily aimed at informing staff and environmental health policymakers who are not laboratory specialists but may need to develop plans to verify the lead content of paints and programs to reduce it.
The document mentions proven analytical methods for determining lead content in paint, briefly describes some of its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, and highlights the elements to be taken into account when selecting the most appropriate method according to requirements and context.
