With the continuous development of society, there are more and more children's toys, and toys of various formats have entered our sight. However, with the increasing number of toys, there are many hidden dangers behind them, and children have become the protected objects of society, so we have to pay attention to the detection of toy products. What are soluble heavy metals to you? What are the soluble heavy metals detected in children's toys?

What are soluble heavy metals?

The non-exhaustive list of heavy metals includes antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se). Children's toys and jewelry may contain high levels of these heavy metals, which put children at special risk through oral, inhalation, skin and hand-mouth contact. They are immersed in the oil in our hands, in the saliva in our mouths and in the acid in our stomachs, and stick to the surface like dust.

What are the hazards of soluble heavy metals?

Heavy metals are problematic because they can accumulate in living tissues, which poses a great threat to human health and the environment. The accumulation of heavy metals in tissues is particularly problematic in children, which can lead to mental defects, behavioral disorders, neurocognitive disorders, cancer/AIDS, respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases.
