[Nhcoll-l] Hazardous materials

[Rortvedt deZero]

Hello,

Do you use a commercial laboratory to test animal taxidermy 
mounts for the presence of arsenic and other hazardous materials ?

If not, do you use a home test kit? I became aware of Weber's test. Is this an "industry standard"?

Is
 there a "certified clean" certification or something similar? Is there a
 regimen of materials for which testing should be done? I know about As,
 Hg, Pb. 

Is there a year before which you assume a mount has been treated with arsenic?
Thanks.
