ConsumerLab tested many brands of both spice and supplement for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury, and published the amounts they found in each brand: https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/turmeric-curcumin-supple... Paywall
What an article to put behind a paywall

Yeah I've also been wondering this. Would love it if anyone has similar knowledge, especially about other spices beyond Tumeric.
I posted this above. ConsumerLab does this testing on all sorts of products and foods. They are a non-profit. The annual fee you pay supports the research and testing directly.

I don't really want lead in my plastic or my furniture either... In fact, I think there would be a good case for simply banning all mining of lead. Nearly all remaining uses of it (bullets, roof flashing, counterweights, car batteries) seem to still have a pretty high risk of contamination of either the environment or the workers who make or recycle products.

Where can I find those test kits?
Amazon. There are even strips. Now can we trust the manufacturer of the tests themselves given amazons sometimes shitty vendor quality? Who knows.

'Woke' is a very loaded word. A heads up that if you use it in the way you just did, people will assume certain things about you. Unless you don't care, in which case continue so that everyone knows what assumption they should make.
The way you present it seems to have more problems than the 'not care' use case.

How can I test for lead in my tumeric? Edit: found this page which is amazing https://eatrightindia.gov.in/dart/
It doesn't list a test for lead in turmeric powder , unfortunately.
Edit: Which I guess is ok, since they're just showing what to look for and they aren't falsifying an actual test.
