CCTV has exposed that "Slime" crystal mud contains borax, a component harmful to human health. Reports indicate that almost all "Slime" crystal mud products available on the market contain borax, which easily adheres to the skin and poses a threat to children's health. As related incidents occur frequently, consumer awareness of harmful substances in toys has increased, especially concerning migratable heavy metals that are easily ingested. Currently, there is no specific domestic regulation for toys containing boron elements, whereas international standard 8124-3 has been introduced regulatory requirements for boron. To ensure the accuracy of measurement results, we have developed a method using ICP-OES technology to detect the uncertainty of migratable heavy metals in toy materials. By analyzing the detection process of migratable heavy metals in materials using ICP-OES, including aspects such as experimental reagents, utensils, reference materials, and operators, we identified the sources of uncertainty and calculated the uncertainty of each variable, ultimately deriving the combined and expanded uncertainty of the detection results. The establishment of this method provides an important reference for ensuring toy safety and helps consumers make safer toy choices, ensuring the healthy growth of children. When purchasing toys, consumers should pay attention to the product's ingredients and quality, selecting those that have passed rigorous testing to ensure the safety and health of their children.</li></ul>/SJFCD/paperinfo/62336.shtmlScientific Journal of Frontier Chemical Development/SJFCD/paperinfo/62336.shtml2024-12<p class="abstract">Study on Heavy Metal Migration in Toys Based on ICP Analysis</p><ul><li>Pages 7-11</li><li>Author Yingjie Lin</li><li>Abstract This research focuses on heavy metal contamination in children's toys, utilizing Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) technology to systematically analyze and evaluate heavy metal migration in toys. The study reviews the potential health hazards of heavy metal pollution to children and analyzes the development of international toy safety standards. Through the analysis of 300 toy samples, the research reveals the current status and potential risks of heavy metal migration in different types of toys, finding that metal toys and coated toys exhibit the highest levels of heavy metal migration, especially for lead and cadmium. Environmental factors, particularly high-temperature conditions, significantly increase the migration of heavy metals. Based on the research findings, recommendations are proposed, including strengthening material selection, improving manufacturing processes, refining testing standards, and enhancing market supervision, aiming to reduce the risk of heavy metal migration in toys and provide a safer toy environment. This study innovatively applies ICP technology to assess heavy metal migration risks in toys, providing a new methodological reference for toy safety testing, while also offering scientific evidence to raise public awareness and improve relevant policies and industry standards.</li></ul>/SJFCD/paperinfo/62337.shtmlScientific Journal of Frontier Chemical Development/SJFCD/paperinfo/62337.shtml
