Heavy Metal Analysis in Textiles
category
Heavy metal analysis quantifies trace concentrations of toxic metals including lead, cadmium, chromium VI, arsenic, mercury, nickel, antimony, and cobalt in textile substrates using acid digestion or simulated sweat extraction followed by ICP-MS, ICP-OES, or atomic absorption spectrometry detection at sub-milligram per kilogram sensitivity thresholds.
Role
Ensures compliance with REACH Annex XVII restrictions, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 limits, and consumer product safety regulations governing heavy metal content in textiles that contact skin, particularly in dyed, printed, and mordant-treated fabrics where metallic colorants and catalysts are primary contamination sources.
