摘要
研究表明,化妆品中可能含有重金属,因为众所周知,重金属会影响颜色。我们对加纳阿散蒂地区市场上某些品牌的指甲油进行了六种金属含量的评估,即铅(Pb)、镉(Cd)、铝(Al)、铬(Cr)、锰(Mn)和铜(Cu)。使用 nova 400P 型原子吸收分光光度计对二十(20)份指甲油样本进行了分析。测定的最高浓度为铝(77.50 毫克/升)、铜(2.126 毫克/升)和铬(25.66 毫克/升)。铅、镉和锰的含量均低于检测限。分析的所有样本均低于世界卫生组织允许的限值,因此可以安全使用。经评估,通过皮肤途径、吸入和摄入这些金属对健康造成的风险、危害商数(HQ)和危害指数(HI)均低于统一值,表明使用这些金属不会对健康造成潜在风险。
Evaluating metal levels and potential health risks of nail polish brands on the Ghanaian market.
Research has shown possible existence of heavy metals in cosmetic products, as they are known to impact colour. Assessments have been carried out on selected brands of nail polishes on Ghanaian markets in the Ashanti Region, for levels of six metals, i.e., lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), aluminium (Al), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu). A total of twenty (20) nail polish samples were analysed using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer model nova 400P. The highest concentrations determined were Al (77.50 mg/L), Cu (2.126 mg/L), and Cr (25.66 mg/L). The levels of Pb, Cd, and Mn were all below detection limit. All samples analysed were below the WHO permissible limits, making them safe for use. Health risks associated with intake of these metals via dermal route, inhalation, and ingestion are evaluated, Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Hazard Index (HI) are below unity, suggesting no potential health risks associated with their use.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
