Forums > Living in Kunming > Heavy Metal Toxin Testing

I recently found 2 places that conduct heavy metal toxin testing here in Kunming. They only do urine and hair folicle testing and do NOT do Blood tests. I visited both sites and they seem professional enough to provide anyone with a printed report within a few days. The only tests they conduct are for Arsenic, Cadmium, Fluoride, Lead and Mercury. Each test costs 60 RMB. You may choose as many tests as you like. I tested for all 5 metals for 300 RMB.

I inquired about testing for Barium and Aluminium as they are the main ingredients in Chemtrails but they do NOT test for either of these 2 metals.

The 2 locations where you can be tested are:

1 - Yunnan CDC - 158 Dong Si Jie - Bus 148 - However, they only test 3 metals at this location - Arsenic, Fluoride and Mercury, they gave me different information when I called and visited and were not friendly or very helpful.

2 - Yunnan Province Metallurgy Hospital - Yunnan Sheng Ye Jin Yi Yuan - Guang Ming Road - Mu Dong Village - Bus 132 - Right behind Tan Hua Temple. This is the location I chose so that I may test for all 5 metals. The staff here were more helpful and willing to serve then at the Yunnan CDC.

Just yesterday I watched something about this on the bus. The Customs folks stopped and confiscated a few big trucks on the road from Puer. The trucks were not refridgerated so this is one of the cause of the problems. So if the meat did make it in to its final destination it had to be repacked and refrozen after the long trip. Perhaps the meat in the center of the truck can keep but surely not the meat on top or the sides.

Since I live on Zhao Zong Road I decided to pay this reservoir a visit via bus #7 which is 2 stops from my home.

The first thing I noticed is that there is plenty of constructuion going on - a new retaining wall is being built as well as a brand new pumping faciltiy with several large pipes to divert the water.

At the time this article was written, this reservoir may have just been a pond but that is no longer the case. "There are no pumping facilities or drains at Zhaozong Reservoir — it is simply a large pond".

The construction workers said that because water is such a precious commodity in Kunming every drop will be put to use in the near future.

Bus #7 to the Zhao Zong Yi Zu Cun Kou Bus Stop. Turn left when you see the Long Hua Temple a few meters before the main entrance to Sen Lin Hu = Forest Lake = 森林湖.

There were at least 20 redundant signs on the walking trail every 10 meters that clearly read - NO SWIMMING!

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
