  Microsoft Word - Lead in Toys note 6 Aug.doc

Problems may be posed by lead in products that are currently available in a child's environment, such as the dust in homes with leaded paint or certain toys that are either made out of lead (e.g. play jewellery, trinkets) or contain lead (e.g. some plastics or paints). Weathering, peeling, or chipping lead-based paint plays a role in children's exposure, and those with "pica" (tendency to eat soil, paint chips and other materials) may be at particular risk. (...) However, some of the uses of lead which have been phased out may remain in some parts of the world, e.g. in certain paints. The lack of regulations about lead in paint or their poor enforcement, together with increasing international trade may result in health and environmental risks that may go across borders.
