Abstract:
The Paint samples were gotten from old houses in areas of Ikorodu, Onipan, Lekki, Berger, Agbado-Ijaye, Lagos Island, Moremi, and Makama hall (University of Lagos) and were digested using three different methods, which include
1) Nitric acid and per-chloric acid digestion
2) Nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide digestion
3) Dry ashing digestion using a muffle furnace
These methods were compared and were discovered that oil-based paints (gloss paints) have a higher concentration of lead than water-based paints (emulsion paints).
Lead is a very poisonous metal and should not be used in paints because of its harmful effect on human lives.
