XRF Training Provides Tools to Test for Toxics in Consumer Goods and the Environment
EcoWaste Coalition, EARTH and IPEN carried out a two-day training on the Xray Fluorescence Spectrum Analyzer (XRF) in November in Bangkok. The XRF can be used to measure products such as toys, handbags, costume jewelry, school supplies and other consumer goods for the presence of dangerous toxic metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, antimony, cadmium, and chromium.
