General Consumer Safety

Legislation on toxic metals in additives varies greatly from country to country. These additives can potentially contain toxic levels of certain metals, which can leach out.  Screening, verification and testing for additives in imported toys, plastics, paints, furnishings and other goods is essential to protect children and adults alike from lead and other toxic-metal poisoning.

The INAM XRF-analyzer is used by both product manufacturers and government regulators to screen consumer products for hazardous chemicals. The small, lightweight and portable design means it can be used at the factory, in a warehouse, at a port, in a product integrity lab or in-situi.
