The aim of this work is to determine the concentration of heavy metals in a series of toys used by children and compare them with the regulations in force.
The presence of heavy metals in plastic toys is a significant concern to potential health risk to children. Various studies have identified a range of heavy metals in toys including lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium, zinc and other metals which can pose serious health hazards if ingested or absorbed through the skin. Many additives and catalysts used in plastics were based on compounds of toxic metals and metalloids such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium and lead. Exposure to heavy metals can results serious health effect including development delays, neurological damage and other long term health issues, particularly in young children. Plastic toys are often contaminated with heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), and mercury (Hg) and others. These toxic elements pose significant health risk to children as they can enter the body through oral, and respiratory routes. This study determined of level of heavy metal in different toy samples and its health risk to children various shop of urban area. Most toys are bite, or sucked by the children, thus posed chronic effect. Heavy metal poisoning can disrupt the function of mental, energy, nervous system, kidneys, lugs and the other organ. Some toys contain metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, or arsenic that are dangerous to children's health. These can be found in paints, plastics, and poor-quality metal alloys. Despite subsequent restrictions, hazardous additives remain in plastics due to the ubiquitous nature of many products and the contamination of recycled goods. A potential concern from an ecotoxicological perspective is the diffusion of metals from the matrix of microplastics under certain physicochemical conditions. |
