Fast food premium toys as a significant source of lead and chromium to the environment
Electronic fast food premiums were investigated for their ability to leach toxic metals into the environment. Low levels of the metals barium, cadmium, chromium, and mercury were detected. Significant quantities of lead were found, up to 177 mg/L, over thirty five times the permissible levels.
Key words: Waste, management, toxic, metal, leachate, lead, toys.
