Chemical Substance Testing
2026-09-07Toxic jewellery poses risks to human health. For instance, nickel may trigger allergic reactions such as skin rashes and itching, while lead can cause poor intellectual development in children. In addition, discarded toxic jewellery creates environmental pollution. In fact, hazardous substances exist throughout the jewellery manufacturing process, from raw materials and blanks to electroplating and coating procedures. Harmful chemicals are widely used in jewellery production, including but not limited to toxic heavy metals, plasticizers and dyes.
