Heavy metals in Limit

Heavy Metal Testing in Gulal:

Gulal, used in various cultural and religious celebrations, must undergo rigorous testing to ensure it meets safety standards for heavy metal content. Heavy metals, such as lead, chromium, cadmium, copper, mercury, nickel, and asbestos, can pose serious health risks if present in excessive amounts. Testing for these metals ensures the safety of individuals who come into contact with Gulal during festivities.

Parameters and Limits:

1. Lead: Maximum allowable limit - 20 ppm
2. Chromium: Maximum allowable limit - 10 ppm
3. Cadmium: Maximum allowable limit - 10 ppm
4. Copper: Maximum allowable limit - 50 ppm
5. Mercury: Maximum allowable limit - 1 ppm
6. Nickel: Maximum allowable limit - 5 ppm
7. Asbestos: Not detectable

Procedure:

1. Sample Collection: Collect samples of Gulal from different batches or sources for testing.
2. Sample Preparation: Prepare the samples according to the testing standards and protocols.
3. Instrumental Analysis: Use specialized equipment such as atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to analyze the samples for heavy metal content.
4. Comparison with Standards: Compare the results obtained from the analysis with the permissible limits set by regulatory authorities.
5. Reporting: Generate a comprehensive report detailing the heavy metal content of the Gulal samples and whether they meet safety standards.
6. Compliance: Ensure that the Gulal products comply with the regulatory limits for heavy metals before distribution and use during festivals.

Claims:

1. Heavy metal content within permissible limits for safe use in cultural and religious festivities.
2. Tested and verified for compliance with regulatory standards for heavy metal content.
3. Ensures the safety and well-being of individuals participating in festivals where Gulal is used.

Turn Around Time:1-2 Weeks.
