Abstract | ||
Lead and Chromium ion samples of five commercial samples of each of twenty brands of lipstick sold at locally markets in Iraq were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Samples of digested Lipstick were used, acid digestion method using acids HCl: HNO3 in ratio 1:3 were used before analysis. Average for analyzed samples were Pb, 0.10-4.85 ppm; Cr, 0.18-5.2 ppm. Samples No.9 and No.4 showed the least concentrations of Pb and Cr respectively. These values are not expected to be toxic to humans. However, exposure over long periods might cause accumulation of the elements in the body and even at low concentration; some metals could initiate allergic reactions. | ||
