Hidden Dangers Of Ceramic Tableware

Ceramic tableware has various shapes, is delicate and smooth, has bright colors and is easy to clean. It is the first choice for most families to buy tableware. However, the colored glaze on the surface of ceramics may become a health killer. Lead, mercury, radium, cadmium and other elements in the colored glaze are harmful to the body. The radioactive element radium can kill white blood cells. Cadmium, lead and mercury are all heavy metals. Cadmium and lead can cause liver or other internal organs poisoning, and mercury can cause liver and kidney sclerosis. When using unqualified ceramic products, these harmful substances will dissolve and enter the human body with food. Over time, they will cause chronic poisoning. At the same time, the clay used to make ceramics should also be paid attention to. Poor quality clay contains more microorganisms and harmful substances, and it will harm human health even if it is not glazed. Therefore, the specifications and quality of the products are particularly important. The colored glaze ceramics that meet the standards are basically harmless to the human body, while the colorless ceramic tableware that looks clean may bury hidden dangers for health.
