Don't know. Here is a website i found for you:\n\nhttp://www.scorecard.org/index.tcl\n\nYou can type in your zip code and get enviro info regarding your city. I would Guess that WB has NO lead contaminated homes. You could also go to the library and read the big article the detroit free press ran last year (or a couple years ago) on lead in Detroit. Perhaps they mention the suburbs in passing.

I don't know about specific laws in the Phillipines, but it will depend on what chemical and perhaps what you're going to do with it. I presume the lab store attendent knew what they were talking about? Lead is a heavy metal and is pretty freely available. Many salts of heavy metals, although fairly dangerous, are usually freely available - for example many chemicals used in photography are salts of heavy metals such as silver, gold, etc. If you order online there will generally be information available about regulations on the site. You should also always look at the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for a chemical if you are not familiar with it to get information about its risks and how to handle and dispose of it. These can be found online.\n\nI don't know how old you are, but if you are young and are considering this outside the context of school, I would suggest experienced adult supervision.

First, comfort your wife!  Then ask the people who are staining the fence what they are using.  Most stains do not contain lead any longer--just like most paints don't contain it any more--I'm pretty sure it's illegal for the manufacturers to use lead in those types of products now, but older stains and paints may still have some lead in it.  It usually isn't harmful unless you ingest the stuff.  Just keep your kids away from the fence until it is dry and don't let them eat or handle any of the old scrapped off stain.  Clean it up as best as you can, what you can't get picked up should be washed away with water--lots and lots of water.  If it is the neighbors fence, and is totally on his property, he can do what ever he likes to it--unless you live in a neighborhood that has rules about things like that.  Check with your neighborhood home owners association about the rules for fencing.  If the fence is on your property or belongs to you--he can't be on your side unless you let him!  Honestly, it sounds to me like this neighbor could just be having a bad day--who knows.  For your own safety and that of your family, stay in your own yard, don't call the guy and call the police if the guy gets nasty again.

Use a magnet. Iron is attracted to it, lead is not.

Pick up a phone book and look for junk yards (or auto recyclers/auto wreckers) in your area. Start calling around to see if anyone has what you're looking for.  Good luck!

Your local county Building & Safety Department. Your count Housing Dept. has some info also. Check the internet. Your local zoning commission as well.

The removal of lead-based paint can depend on which state you live in and whether or not the property will be occupied by children under the age of six.  There are many regulations that govern the proper removal and disposal of lead-based paint (see link below).  Some of the regulations would not apply to what would be considered a private residence, however, the work practices and controls outlined should be followed nonetheless.\n\nIn general, lead should be removed by licensed contractors who are trained.  Further, both air and dust wipe samples are recommended following removal operations to ensure the air is clear and that there is no lead-contaminated dust.

Depends how contaminated, contaminated w/ what and how much soil. \n\nMost counties have ag agents so start there and ask. Also soil testing is common for house building so call a local realtor or developer if you can't find one in the phone book.
