Assessing the concentration of heavy metals (lead, cadmium and nickel) in selected personal care products and urine among the targeted consumers
Personal care products (PCP) are widely known and regularly used by people, often on a daily life, as well as in industry and commercial. In some countries, there are no strong regulations on safety of the ingredients. Some heavy metals are used in the personal care product as ingredients, even t...

| description | Personal care products (PCP) are widely known and regularly used by people, often on
a daily life, as well as in industry and commercial. In some countries, there are no
strong regulations on safety of the ingredients. Some heavy metals are used in the
personal care product as ingredients, even though most of them are contaminants. This
study was conducted to assess the concentration of heavy metals in various types of
PCP include deodorant, lipstick, shampoo, hand and body lotion and also in nineteen
urine samples of the targeted consumer. Eight products of different brands which are
locally and internationally available in the markets were analyzed. Determination of
heavy metals was done by pre treatment of samples by acid digestion using
concentrated Nitric Acid (HNO3) and Perchloric Acid (HCIO4), then the samples were
analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), the statistical analysis
were done by SPSS version 22. Results showed that, the highest mean concentration of
metal lead, cadmium and nickel was in deodorant with 0.262 mg/L, lipstick with 0.005
mg/L and hand and body lotion with 0.048 mg/L respectively. There are no an
association between the types and frequency of product use and the concentration of
heavy metals Pb, Cd and Ni in urine on targeted consumer with (p > 0.05). Even
though, the trace amount of heavy metal were under the permissible limit, it might have
some contributing factors that related in concentration of heavy metal in urine such as
smoking status, nutritional status, drinking water, exposed to smoke vehicle and etc. All
the metals are present and under the safe limits after carried out in selected brands of
PCP. |
