[QUOTE="Goldy, post: 2934, member: 184"] FYI. Here is some info on lead sources. A while ago I was told that ceramic dishes and crystal glasses have high lead contents. Also, candy wrappers (Sneakers) contains lead. Sources In the Home Lead-Based Paint-Present on many surfaces in homes not recently rebuilt or remodeled Lead Pipes-More common in older homes Lead Solder -On pipes and water heaters Enameled or Ceramic Pots and Dishware Improper glazing can leech lead into foods Paper Wrappings-Holiday paper and party decorations (10g/kg) Food Packages-Polythene plastic bags, flour bags(20mg/kg),cardboard boxes with dyes (50mg/kg) Candy Packaging-Candy bar wrappers(7g/kg), Colored sports trading cards packaged with gum(88mg/kg) Although lead paint chips are still the most common source of acute lead poisoning, candy wrappers and food packaging are of particular concern because they are in direct contact with immediately consumed items. It is important to keep these items from being consumed, chewed or licked. Does it seem odd that we're hearing about an increase in lead poisioning? Suddenly, this has become a renewed interest from pediatricians. Any input is appreciated. ----- [/QUOTE]
