Episode 3: Lead vs Life
In this episode, Justin McKay uses ATP testing to follow a lead apron’s path through the hospital, swabbing surfaces and the apron itself to measure contamination in real time. The test reveals just how much bacteria builds up during normal use, and how that contamination transfers from room to room.
You’ll see what happens when wipes are introduced—and whether they’re enough to bring levels back down to safe standards.
Lead vs. Life builds on the journey started in Episode 1, offering real-world data that challenges common assumptions about lead apron hygiene.
