Leaching test was performed to investigate the amount of lead in the leachate from lead-containing products used in nuclear facilities. Lead metal, lead-containing acrylic, lead-containing gloves, and lead-containing glasses are investigated, and only lead-containing glasses met the limits in the environmental law. In the lead-containing gloves, it was suggested that lead-containing particles may be physically desorbed during the leaching process.
