ABSTRACT:
Research on the toxicity of metals used in jewelry reveals serious public health implications, particularly for children and workers exposed to informal production environments. Studies show that metals such as lead, cadmium, and nickel, commonly found in jewelry and children’s toys, often exceed safety limits and pose significant health risks.
