Description In the summer of 2018, Ecology conducted a study to evaluate school supply products like those found to contain lead or cadmium in a 2017 school supplies study. The 2018 study design prioritized follow-up testing on pencil pouches/cases and book covers that were previously found to contain lead above 90 parts per million (ppm) or cadmium above 40 ppm and were still available for sale to Washington State residents in 2018.
