Toxic dust from Colorado River drought at Lake Mead? Test results are in!
This is an update video with the results of the lead testing for toxic dust at Lake Mead in Nevada caused by the Colorado River drought.
Welcome to Lake Las Vegas Life! On this channel, I'm going to talk about and SHOW you the Lake Las Vegas community, as well as the surrounding areas of Boulder City, Henderson, Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Strip, Lake Mead, and great day trips not too far away. I talk about tips, trips, recommendations, the positives, the negatives, and answer frequently asked questions I see about these areas on the web. I am NOT a Realtor, so I am not trying to sway you towards any one particular builder or community within the Lake Las Vegas area. I've lived in Las Vegas and currently in Henderson / Lake Las Vegas.

Great job! Thinking of moving to LV hopefully next yr! I hear scary things about water shortages & that's my only concern...I wanna follow my dream of a life in LV. Appreciate & grateful of any suggestions & recommendations that would help me for a life there. Thank U for your wonderful videos! Glad to know your tests results had positive outcome! UR fascinating in your investigations & research!
Great info thanks . I lived in Vegas for 20+ years. We used to dirt bike all over the valley. The Silver Bowl area was great with mud and some water. Went into the wash during the dry season and found TP clinging to the walls. Well needless to say that was the last time for that ride. Where the wash dumps in the lake used to be the Cliffs. It was a swimming spot until people were getting skin lesions. This was in the 90s and I am sure things have not gotten better since then.
Thank you for your information. I was wondering what was all the brown dust on our vehicles and hazy on Friday.
Great news on test results!
Better to know than not to know and most people wouldn't care I was actually expecting much higher levels so I was surprised it took time and money thank you for your work great video
THANK YOU LIZ..GREAT JOB! AND HAPPY YOU MAY BE GETTING RAIN..STAY AWESOME

There are huge silt banks now exposed at the upper most end of the lake by Pierce Ferry where most of the silt dropped out until Glen Canyon dam was built then trapping the most of the silt at the upper end of Lake Powell. Those areas would be interesting to test.
Sure do miss your videos, and hoping all is well.
Hello ,, I’m just wondering if you will be posting any more videos ? I enjoy your channel !😊
Just after you left Harrahs Laughlin there was a fantastic dust storm that overtook Laughlin like I have never seen in the 40 years I've been going to the city. You should check into that and the issue of toxic dust that settled around the city or in your results minor levels of lead
I'm not sure but I believe you just had rain from Hurricane KAY as it sheard I seen the reminence go to Nevada and Arizona I'm in Long Beach Cali we got light rain for a couple days 🤣🤣 I just wanted a massive down poor o well I will take what we can get have an awesome Sunday
Good to know.
Hi Lovely Liz 😘🌺🍓 thank you for the effort, field time, places of choice, sending the samples off to a credible lab, etc! I wonder if you had taken a sample or 2 a few inches, say, 6" - 10" below the ground surface, if the detected levels would have been higher. I assume after a period of time, lead would slowly sink into the soil, as would other elements. Great video, and even tho I don't live in NV anymore, I think some friends still do (besides yourself! 🌹❤️) Hope you are doing ok out there. ❤️🌹🍓🌺

Nice. I didn't know that before you explained it to us Liz. Good to know. That's good question you bring to the table Liz. With all the water gone and all the stuff people dump into the water. What is in the soil? Now the question is. What's REALLY in the soil other than lead? Thank you for educating us arm chair scientist's.

That was nicely done. Nice to hear that, but I'd be concerned about the amount of nitrogen is being put in with the effluent coming from the sewer plants. Also with the reading I've been doing about Geoengineering, what about those chemicals? The nemaes escape me right now. But, I'll be looking more into that soon. Nice video, very informative.

> Now we can sleep peacefully. The fish and birds should be safe from high lead levels in this area. There are many other toxic materials that could have been tested for but for now what we don't know won't hurt us. Rather you not go hunting any more and do your regular activities we enjoy so much.

Las Vegas Police Department CSI lab should be able to give you a broader scale of what is in the soil. With all the chem trails since 1996 you may find high levels of aluminum oxide. Also, they used to test military explosives in the near by deserts. Nice to see someone has an interest in this besides me here in Delaware. 👍👍

Lake M_ad not good for lead mining. 😃 That´s good news. 🌀↘📤🌇🏜 1.5 Billion Gallons of Lake Mead water Wasted for Resort Lake kzread.info/dash/bejne/aHyDxKiLdcK9h7g.html There´s some interesting calculation with level, volume and surface in the comments, like "At that rate each foot of elevation drop would cause the area of the lake to be reduced by 2.14 square miles. Each inch of drop equates to about 114 acres reduction in lake area." Btw. LM´s evaporation is 📤~6.26 ft/y.
