Determination of Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (CD) in Ceramic Products Contacting Food

What is Heavy Metal? What are the Harms of Heavy Metals? Which Heavy Metals Are Analyzed in Ceramic Products?

Metals with a density greater than 5 g/cm3 are called "heavy metals". Heavy metals are important and wanted to be kept under control because of their negative effects on human health and pollution.

Heavy metal uptake into the human body is possible, especially from food or food contact products. Long-term exposure to heavy metals can cause serious health problems and death due to their toxic effects.

The point of attention in ceramic materials that come into contact with food is the migration of Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (CD). For this reason, Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (CD) determinations are carried out in ceramic products that may come into contact with food.

Lead (Pb) is widely used both in nature and in industry and is one of the leading sources of poisoning in humans and animals. Due to its toxic effects, the damage is also great. Cadmium (CD) can enter the body in many ways. May cause damage to kidney, bone and lungs by intoxication.

Determination of Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (CD) is analyzed in ceramic products that come into contact with food due to the above-mentioned damages. It is an important test parameter.

Determination of Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (CD) in Ceramic Products in Contact with Food is among the test parameters performed in the accredited and authorized Nanolab Packaging Laboratory.
