Hygenall Reveals New Products to Reduce Lead Exposure from Common
Decorations, Toys and Household Items
Toxic Holiday Decorations May Lower I.Q.
Portsmouth, New Hampshire – December 14, 2010 – Hygenall Corporation (www.hygenall.com) today
unveiled a suite of new products that clean off microscopic quantities of heavy metal neurotoxins such as
lead, which are showing up on everything from Christmas tree lights and sparkling decorations to
common household items. Among other maladies, ingesting even minute quantities of lead can
significantly impact cognitive abilities—especially in children.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if ingested in even small amounts, lead can
affect health in a variety of ways, including lowering I.Q. through cognitive problems, organ failure, and
other diseases associated with chronic lead exposure. Hygenall products are built under license from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Michael McKinnon, CEO of Hygenall Corporation, highlights the problems with lead around the holiday
season and expands upon his company’s solution, “Lead particles so small that they are nearly invisible
are often deposited on skin and surfaces, and eventually ingested by people and pets. The lead exposure in
the home increases during the holiday season due to the handling of old and imported decorations and
gifts received, including toys. These lead particles stick to skin and other surfaces through an
electromagnetic bond that is difficult to disrupt. Soaps, wipes, disinfecting gels, while good for cleaning
off dirt and germs, are not completely effective because they do not break the electromagnetic bond that
makes lead stick to skin and surfaces.”
The patented technology in Hygenall products is designed to safely disrupt the lead bond, and has shown
to be highly effective even at microgram levels. These Hygenall products include:

Hygenall LeadOff ™ Wipes - a non-rinse wipe that decontaminates where rinse water is not
available.

Hygenall LeadOff™ Soap - a foaming hand wash that replaces typical bathroom soaps.

Hygenall LeadOff Laundry™ - a laundry detergent for removing lead from clothes.

Hygenall LeadOff™ Surface Cleaner - a general purpose and lead decontamination surface
cleaner for surfaces, and would replace typical cleaning spray products commonly found in the
home.
“Once lead is ingested, usually through hand-to-mouth transfer, the body treats lead as if it were calcium
which is used to create nerve, brain, and bone tissue,” McKinnon continued. “Noticeable health issues
occur when the body uses lead as building blocks instead of calcium.”
Hygenall products are available through several retailers including Benjamin Moore, and online through
Amazon.com, and IMMI, a minority woman owned, SBA 8(a), SBA SDB Certified, GNEMSDC
Certified, and SWMWBA Certified government products supplier, and Procircuit, a supplier to the battery
industry.
