项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Summary Lead and its compounds have been rated as one of the leading chemicals posing the greatest threat to human health. Significant amounts of lead are found in a multitude of consumer goods, ranging from electronics, household goods, to toys. In 1997, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reported identifying and taking action to reduce or eliminate the risk of lead poisoning from a number of consumer products in which lead was accessible to children. These products of serious concern include imported crayons, imported non-glossy vinyl miniblinds, playground equipment, children's jewelry and clothing. There are regulatory limits to the content of lead used in consumer products. However, many are voluntary and most apply only to items that are manufactured for use by very young children six years of age or younger. Unfortunately, lead does find it's way into toys. In February 2006, a four year old boy died of lead poisoning after swallowing a piece of a toy containing lead. This tragedy has resulted in a recall of nearly one million similar toys. There is no practical, cost effective method for testing consumer products for lead content. Existing techniques are either very expensive or samples must be sent to laboratories. Thus, the availability of a practical, cost-effective, quality assurance technology could help prevent future illness and deaths from lead poisoning. This proposed effort will examine the feasibility of designing a very inexpensive, simple to operate, hand-held instrument, based on a revolutionary detector technology. The proposed instrument will be used by manufacturers, distributors, public safety personnel, and possibly retail stores and parents, to examine goods for lead content.Narrative Lead and its compounds pose a great threat to human health, especially in children. As unlikely as it seems in the 21st century, one of the remaining major sources of lead is in children's products and toys. This application proposes to investigate and develop technology that can be used to test consumer products for lead content. The result will be a very inexpensive, safe, and easy to use instrument to test for the presence of lead in children's products, before they reach store shelves.
描述(由申请人提供): 摘要 铅及其化合物已被评为对人类健康构成最大威胁的主要化学物质之一。从电子产品、家居用品到玩具,多种消费品中都含有大量的铅。 1997 年,消费品安全委员会报告指出,已确定并采取行动,减少或消除一些儿童容易接触到铅的消费品造成铅中毒的风险。这些受到严重关注的产品包括进口蜡笔、进口无光泽乙烯基迷你百叶窗、游乐场设备、儿童珠宝和服装。消费品中的铅含量受到监管限制。然而,许多都是自愿的,并且大多数仅适用于为六岁或以下幼儿使用而制造的物品。不幸的是,铅确实进入了玩具中。 2006年2月,一名四岁男孩吞下一块含铅玩具后铅中毒身亡。这场悲剧导致近百万件类似玩具被召回。目前还没有实用且具有成本效益的方法来测试消费品的铅含量。现有技术要么非常昂贵,要么必须将样品送到实验室。因此,实用、具有成本效益、质量保证的技术的可用性可以帮助预防未来因铅中毒而导致的疾病和死亡。这项拟议的工作将检验基于革命性探测器技术设计一种非常便宜、操作简单的手持式仪器的可行性。拟议的仪器将由制造商、分销商、公共安全人员以及可能的零售商店和家长使用,以检查商品的铅含量。叙述 铅及其化合物对人类健康,特别是儿童健康构成巨大威胁。尽管在 21 世纪看起来不太可能,但铅的剩余主要来源之一是儿童产品和玩具。该申请旨在研究和开发可用于测试消费品铅含量的技术。其结果将是一种非常便宜、安全且易于使用的仪器,用于在儿童产品到达商店货架之前测试其铅含量。
