Lead-glazed pottery: a potential health hazard in the Middle East.

Acra A, Dajani R, Raffoul Z, Karahagopian Y.

Abstract

Lead-glazed pottery produced by obsolete methods in Lebanon and other countries in the Middle East is potentially hazardous when used in contact with acidic foods. This conclusion was deduced from the testing of 423 glazed utensils for the amount of lead leached by 4% acetic acid. Control measures, surveillance, and regulations are therefore warranted.
