铅：尚未了结的健康危害：检查厨房铅毒的库存
金猪宝
当我在1997年之前修学【产品赔偿法】课时，基于诉讼的状况，我当时以为铅已经结束了。我以为 1980 年后销售的大多数炊具（cookware)都是无铅的。 30 年后，最近我注意到一些炊具铅测试结果。根据视频 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0h0eAvPh48 ，装饰玻璃炊具通常含有铅 （而透明的玻璃炊具通常是安全的，但也可含有砷）。该视频发布于 2023 年 6 月 17 日, 大多数带有PYREX 徽标的产品通过家庭测试套件可检测出铅。视频提供了一些检测出铅的样例：
PYreX 量杯(美国)：
镉：396 ppm（在红色涂料中）
PYREX 量杯：（在蓝色漆上）
铅 20,700 ppm（超过 90 ppm 的漆是不安全的）
镉：175 ppm
Pyrex 复古黄色冰箱盘
铅 : 102,200 ppm（油漆中含有 10% 的铅！！！）
Pyrex（德国）玻璃水瓶
铅：白色漆上的铅含量为 19,200 ppm。
PYreX 1980 复古有尾花米色砂锅
铅：253,900 ppm
镉：12,100 ppm
砷：8,801 ppm
PYREX 透明玻璃砂锅
砷：866 ppm。 （高砷是一个例外）
我在这里只举几个例子。这些炊具上的涂料所含铅含量超过安全限量的100 倍至 2821 倍。我感到震惊!
根据这段视频和我从网站上搜索到的其他信息，我检查了家里的炊具，发现了以下可疑炊具。
1. 大多数水杯可能含有含铅的涂料：
有金边的杯子有铅；中央杯子包含装饰图片；透明杯子可能是 1980 年之前制造的（可能有问题）。所以，这些年来我一直在接触铅。
2.两个漂亮的碗
两漂亮的碗都有外部设计图像（很可能有问题）。我不确定内部白色漆是否含有铅（白色漆也可能含有铅）。
3.两个大盘子
这两的大盘子上的漆很可能含有大量的铅（设计非常坚固，结构可见）。由于这些大盘子通常不储存液体，我认为它不会通过偶然接触滤出大量的铅。
4. 两个小碗
小陶瓷碗很可能含有铅（以及其他有毒物质）。玻璃碗仅在外壁上含装饰图案。由于它是装饰玻璃，因此很可能是至少 40 年前生产的产品。它可能含有铅和其他有毒物质。
我曾经错误地认为铅问题很久以前就已经解决了。几十年来我没有太关注厨房问题，这是大错特错。希望读者留意这些有毒物质，以免造成严重的人身伤害。

Lead: a health hazard that has not been over: Examination of lead inventory （with photos)
金猪宝
When I studied product liability before 1997, I thought it was over based on the litigation and awareness. I assumed that most product sold after 1980 would be lead free. Thirty years later, I saw a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0h0eAvPh48 and I was shocked to note that some recent lead test results. The video was posted on Jun 17, 2023. Based on the video, decorative glasses and cookware normally contain lead, while clean and transparent glass is normally safe, but occasionally could contain a high level of Arsenic.
MOST of these with the all caps PYREX logo will test positive for Lead with a home test kit. The video provides following examples:
PYreX measure cup USA: Cadmium: 396 ppm (in the red paint)
PYREX a measure cup: (on the blue paint)
Lead 20,700 ppm (over 90 ppm paint is unsafe)
Cadmium: 175 ppm
Pyrex Vintage Yellow Refrigerator Dish
102,200 ppm (10% lead in the paint!!! )
Pyrex (Germany) Water Bottle: Lead: 19,200 ppm on the white paint.
PYreX 1980 Vintage PYreX Trailing Flower Beige Casserole Dish
Lead: 253,900 ppm
Cadmium: 12,100 ppm
Arsenic: 8,801 ppm
PYREX clear glass Casserole Dish
Arsenic: 866 ppm. (one exception)
I can only cite a few examples here. The paints on those exemplar cookware contains lead that exceeds safety limit by up to 2821 times. I was shocked.
Based on this video and other information I have searched from websites, I examined all cookware in my home and identified following suspect cookware.
1. Most of drink cups may have lead-containing paints:
One cup contains a golden rim; the central cup contains decorative picture and the transparent cup may be made before 1980 (most probably have problems). So, I were exposed to lead all those years.
2. Two big beautiful bowls
Both bowls have design images outside. I am not sure if the inner white paint contains lead (white paint could contain lead).
3. Two large plates
The paints on those plates most likely contain a large amount of lead (the designs are very strong with visible structures). Since those plates normally do not store liquid, I would assume it cannot leach out meaningful amount of lead by casual contact.
4. Two small bowls
The small ceramics bowls most probably contain lead (plus other toxic substances). The glass bowl contains decorative image only on the outside walls. Since it is a decorative glass, it is most likely a product made at least 40 years ago. It possibly contains lead and other toxic substances.
I mistakenly thought that the lead problem had been over a long time ago. I was deadly wrong for not paying attention to this problem in several decades. I hope readers will watch for those toxic substances to prevent severe personal injury.
