Do you attach importance to zippers and children's health?

Introduction: This article mainly introduces the toxicity level of lead paint in zippers and children's health problems.

Compared with buttoned clothes, children's clothes with colorful zippers are always welcomed by more parents. Are you willing to choose clothes with nickel zipper, brass zipper, and silver zippers for your children? Have you considered the link between zippers and children’s health? Below we will introduce the toxicity level of lead paint in metal zippers and the health problems of children. Hope it helps you.

Why the zipper has colors

Lead is a toxic metal and is sometimes used in paint. Usually used to enhance yellow, red, white and some other colors. It is also waterproof. This means that adding lead to the paint ensures that it will not be washed off. This is especially useful when there is a problem with colored zippers. Therefore, some manufacturing companies in the zipper industry use it. The problem is that no known amount of lead is safe. Ingesting or inhaling such harmful metal particles can harm a person's health. This is especially dangerous for children.

Findings in the zipper test

In a project in early June, the Eco-Waste Alliance purchased 30 different zippers in Divisoria, the largest retail and wholesale market in Manila, Philippines. These prices range from the cheapest to the most expensive. They chose colorful zippers in red, yellow, green and orange. They used X-ray fluorescence equipment to test the lead content of these zippers. They found that a large number of zippers contained large amounts of lead. This is not the first time they have found lead in brightly colored zippers. They also found zippers coated with lead paint on school bags and pencil bags.

Negative effects of lead on children

A large amount of lead in the blood can attack the nervous system and brain, causing coma and even death. Children who survive lead poisoning may have irreversible psychological problems. These range from mental retardation to behavioral changes. However, even a small amount can harm the child's health. Since lead is carried by the blood, it will reach every organ of the body. The growing brain of children is most affected. Children who consume lead may experience decreased IQ, attention problems, and behavior changes. Lead can also cause anemia in children. Anemia is a condition where there are not enough red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood. This means that the body is not getting enough oxygen. Suffering people often feel tired and feel a steadfast weakness.

How do we reduce the harm of lead zipper to children

The World Health Organization (WHO) has joined the United Nations Environment Programme. They are working hard to phase out the use and manufacture of lead paint. Their goal is to prevent children and adults from coming into contact with lead paint. They are developing guidelines and providing evidence of the negative effects of lead to authorities. This is to change the law regarding lead paint and implement existing laws. In addition to testing the zipper, they also carried out a number of anti-lead actions. One of their actions is to cooperate with major zipper manufacturers and local elementary schools. They replaced all the old zippers in the children’s bags and accessories with new lead-free zippers.
