Lead pollution, lead poisoning, blood lead exceeded... These terrible words have appeared in the news again and again. Studies have shown that excessive lead in the body is prone to diseases such as cognitive impairment, heart disease, and kidney failure. In addition to the main sources of lead such as pesticides, paints and gasoline, some corners of the home may also have terrible lead. The US "Fox" News Network published an article on March 29 to help you find out the five potential "lead sources" that are rarely known at home.
1. Faucet. The US Environmental Protection Agency warns that faucets are made of copper, while copper faucets and chrome-plated faucets contain the highest levels of lead in all types of faucets.
Response: If you are concerned about water quality, you can install a tap water filter.
2. Floor. Lead is a stabilizer that prevents the decomposition of vinyl (a type of plastic), but as the plastic product ages, lead may precipitate. A 2008 study on vinyl flooring (a plastic-like floor) said that such floors contain lead.
Response: Choose a safer floor, such as solid wood flooring.
3. Wallet. The US environmental non-profit organization "Environmental Health Center" found that the lead content in the wallet was astonishingly high. The lead content of a high-end wallet is 195 times that of California's consumer products.
Response: It is best to choose a wallet made of genuine leather, cotton or canvas.
4. Lipstick. The US Food and Drug Administration found that 22 kinds of lipstick samples contained lead. Although the lead content was small, it was inevitable that it would be harmful to health.
Response: Before purchasing lipstick, it is best to consult the relevant information on the lead content of lipstick, try to choose a small amount, or better not to use lipstick.
5. Juice. Some pesticides contain lead, which can “contaminate†fruits and vegetables. The US test found that 25% of the juice lead content exceeded the standard.
Response: Drinking fruit juice is worse than eating fruit directly, but it must be cleaned before eating.
