Things From Canada – Wooden Toy Train Car: Non-Detect (negative) for Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic & Antimony.
When tested with an XRF instrument this unpainted wooden child’s train car toy (sent to me by a reader in Canada) had the following readings:
Reading One:
- Lead (Pb): Non-Detect / Negative
- Arsenic (As): Non-Detect / Negative
- Cadmium (Cd): Non-Detect / Negative
- Mercury (Hg): Non-Detect / Negative
- Antimony (Sb): Non-Detect / Negative
- Barium (Ba): Non-Detect / Negative
- Chromium (Cr): Non-Detect / Negative
- Selenium (Se): Non-Detect / Negative
Reading Two:
- Lead (Pb): Non-Detect / Negative
- Arsenic (As): Non-Detect / Negative
- Cadmium (Cd): Non-Detect / Negative
- Mercury (Hg): Non-Detect / Negative
- Antimony (Sb): Non-Detect / Negative
- Barium (Ba): Non-Detect / Negative
- Chromium (Cr): Non-Detect / Negative
- Selenium (Se): Non-Detect / Negative
All tests were done for a minimum of 45 seconds each – using a freshly calibrated Niton XRF instrument (an XL3T XRF testing in “consumer goods” mode). Tests were repeated multiple times on each component to confirm the results. All test results reported on this blog are science-based, accurate and replicable.
