When tested with an XRF instrument the corning casserole dish pictured here had the following readings:
On the exterior design (the red of the cherries):
- Lead (Pb): 8,447 +/- 284 ppm
- Cadmium (Cd): 433 +/- 26 ppm
- Barium (Ba): 3,948 +/- 192 ppm
- Chromium (Cr): 1,232 +/- 232 ppm
- Zirconium (Zr): 12,400 +/- 400 ppm
- Tin (Sn): 37 +/- 18 ppm
- Bromine (Br): 149 +/- 12 ppm
- Platinum (Pt): 585 +/- 122 ppm
- Zinc (Zn): 13,000 +/- 400 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 145 +/- 49 ppm
- Cobalt (Co): 1,329 +/- 150 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 476 +/- 162 ppm
- Vanadium (V): 923 +/- 273 ppm
- Titanium (Ti): 11,000 +/- 800 ppm
On the interior (food surface) of the dish:
- Barium (Ba): 3,868 +/- 182 ppm
- Antimony (Sb): 73 +/- 19 ppm
- Zirconium (Zr): 13,600 +/- 400 ppm
- Tin (Sn): 46 +/- 17 ppm
- Bromine (Br): 172 +/- 12 ppm
- Platinum (Pt): 390 +/- 105 ppm
- Zinc (Zn): 15,800 +/- 500 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 149 +/- 49 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 882 +/- 188 ppm
- Vanadium (V): 1,627 +/- 339 ppm
- Titanium (Ti): 18,900 +/- 1,200 ppm
The question I always get: Why is this a problem if the Lead is only on the outside? Here’s the answer – link!
As always, thank you for reading and for sharing my posts. I will likely update this post soon with more information, however in the meantime please check out the following links if you have questions:
- The testing methodology for all tests reported on on this blog.
- A video showing you how to search the blog most efficiently, given there are over 2,700 posts and pages here.
- My documentary feature film on childhood Lead poisoning.
Please let me know if you have any questions. With 1.165 Million unique readers in 2020 alone I am not always able to answer each and every question personally, but I do try.
