Taiwan's lead paint has been rampant and unregulated standards are 40 years behind the U.S.

(The ring group pointed out that the oil-based paint commonly used in domestic life has a high lead content)

The lead content standard for paints in the

Lin Huihui also said that the Bureau of Standards and Inspections also needs to consider industrial needs and the problem of corrosion prevention in Taiwan's rainy environment.
But "if there is an international limit for lead," it will be revised immediately.
Wu Kunyu pointed out that there are already standards internationally, and 90 ppm should be adopted in China.
He hopes that the Bureau of Standards and Inspections can complete the procedures within one to two months.

Wu Guolong, Section Chief of the Bureau of Standards, Inspection and Quarantine, stated that the Coatings Association has been entrusted to conduct research.
It is expected that the report will be released at the end of October, and the public hearing will be conducted in accordance with the procedures.

Xie Helin very questioned whether it is reasonable to hand over the heavy metal content standard of coatings to the Coatings Association.
He said that at least neutral scholars or environmentalists should be invited to discuss together, rather than being led by the industry.

Lead-containing paint is easy to enter the body through breathing and eating, and the risk of children's exposure is high

Lin Zhongying, an assistant professor of the Clinical Toxicology Department of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, said that before, Dr.
Lin Jieliang and Chang Gung's Toxicology Department focused on the research of lead poisoning.
The results of the study found that as long as the lead concentration in the blood of children exceeds 5ppb, it will cause inattention and intellectual damage, and this is an irreversible neuropathy.

Lin Zhongying explained that if there are wall cancers, cracks caused by earthquakes, or old peeling paint in the home, it will cause paint dust or lumps to fall off, fall on the food, breathe, or eat into the body after being touched by children's crawling.
The concentration of lead in the blood increases, and lead is particularly harmful to children.
Long-term exposure to adults, such as paint workers, can also lead to lead poisoning.
Lead's harm is mainly in the circulatory system, which can cause cardiovascular disease.
In addition, it can also accumulate in the bones and reduce calcium absorption.
Lead is also a kind of environmental hormone, which affects the reproductive system.
