About the Cover

Given the popularity of buying vintage toys on the internet, the authors of this issue鈥檚 cover article, 鈥淗azardous Metals in Vintage Plastic Toys Measured by a Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer,鈥� examined over 100 toys from the 1970s and 1980s including Little People by Fisher-Price to determine their heavy metal content. The authors found lead or cadmium in 67% of the toys, often exceeding acceptable limits. The study revealed a potentially unrecognized source of harmful metal exposure for children.
