As we all begin to self-isolate, why not make the most of this time to do a bit of spring cleaning and send us a vacuum sample? ๐Ÿงน We continue to accept samples worldwide. Stay safe everyone! #StaySafeStayHome #coronavirus #citizenscience #DustSafe #MapMyEnv

Children absorb and retain higher levels of neuro-toxic metals like lead from contact with dusty surfaces at home. Parents of children can now get their house dust tested for lead levels - sign up to the DustSafe study at 360dustanalysis.com. #citisci #scifacts #healthykids
