3 Heavy Metals at Your Dinner Plate!!... Do you know that some chinaware may contain lead, a chemical claimed to cause cancer, birth defects and other harm to reproductive system. Have you ever get your plates tested to see if they contain lead? All chinaware sold in the whole world is reøuired to meet certain standars for lead and cadmium. The lead and cadmium can be anywhere in the clay, paint or glaze. The use of both substances are allowed in chinaware but they must be below a certain treshold. As lead and cadmium reduces the melting temperature of raw materials, many manufacturers use lead and cadmium in their production in order to reduce production costs considerably. Responsible manufacturers, use raw materials that does not contain lead and cadmium even though this increases the production costs. Lead Lead is a toxic substance that can affect people of any age. It is especially harmful to children, pregnant women and unborn babies. According to sciefentic studies conducted by different health institutions in different years, lead accumulates in your body, especially in bones, brain, heart, kidneys, liver, nervous system and pancreas so even small amonts can pose a healt hazard over time. Lead is a claimed neurotoxin (kills brain cells) and excessive blood lead levels in children have been linked to learned disabilities, attention defict disorder (ADD), hyperactivity syndromes and reduced intelligence and school achievment scores. Cadmium According to US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, eating food or water with high levels of cadmium, severely irriates to stomach and leads to vomiting and diarrhea. Long-term exposure of cadmium in the food and water can lead to kidney disease, lng damage and fragile bones. Cadmium is ten times more toxic then lead and its effects are ten times more damaging. The half life of cadmium in the body is between years. Chronic issues such as asthma, bronchitis and testicular cancer can develop and there is a strong association with cadmium toxicity and kidney disease. How Lead Cadmium Get Out of Your Dishes and Get Into Your Body 1. Eating foods with an acid base such as: tomato sauce, pickle juice, orange juice, apples, soy sauce and salad dressing. Acidic foods cause lead and cadmium to leach from the plates and into your food. 2. Microwaving your food in ceramicware that contains lead. Unsafe lead concentrations are found in some chinaware after microwave use and this could result in the ingestion of large amounts of lead. 3. Automatic dishwashers can damage glazed surface of your chinaware, causing lead to be leached the next time you see your plates. The heat and intensity of the water hitting the plates can cause the glaze to deteriorate off of chinaware. This would expose the decals. Paint and the clay. In addition, the lead and cadmium can contminate other chinware that was placed in the diswasher. Kutahya Porselen, offers to its customers the products that can be uses safely.
