Jewelry containing lead can cause harm if it is put in the mouth, which is not an unusual thing for a child to do. If this toxic metal mixes with saliva or stomach acids, it can leach out into the body. Government regulations on the amount of lead (Pb) allowed in consumer products include the EU RoHS REACH limit of 500 PPM by weight in jewellery and the US EPA CPSIA limit of 100 PPM Pb by weight in children’s jewellery. Unfortunately, some children’s jewellery still contains this heavy metal at levels well above those restricted levels. Bruker provides two portable XRF analyzers for fast, straightforward, and nondestructive testing of jewellery for dangerous levels of lead. Learn how easy these portable analyzers are to use and how they can be taken directly to the samples for testing. Jewellery doesn’t need to be sent to a lab; it can be tested on assembly lines, at shipping/receiving areas, in jewellery and other specialty shops, or anywhere testing is needed.
