ANSWER: 09 Jun 2009 Dear Elizabeth, Regarding your question if lead is used in the process to dye leather in Australia, I have searched and found that lead dyes are composed of a pigment, a resin which may be casein or nitrocellulose, and a solvent. Which probably means that lead is not included in leather dyes. There has been reports though on the health effects in the industry of leather tanning, although not related to lead. Please review this article: www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-31341114_ITM If you are still interested in purchasing the Basic DIY Lead testing kit Regards, Iman Hegazi MBBS, MD.
