题目内容
13.A study involving 22brands of lipstick(口红) found that 55percent contained small amounts of lead(铅)which affected women's mental health.Underwriters Laboratories showed that 12of the lip products tested positive for the harmful substance(物质) with the highest levels at 3.22parts per million.
Dr.SEAN Palfery,medical director for the Boston Lead Poisoning Prevention Program,warned that even low-level lead exposure causes a serious health risk and could affect mental health.He said:"What we know now is that even the lowest levels of lead can harm your IQ,your behavior,your ability to learn."
Many anti-lead activists also stress the need to protect children and pregnant women.Dr.Halyna Breslawec,chief scientist for the Personal Care Products Council,added:"If you were serious about the public health aspects of lead poisoning you would not be looking at lipstick."
Currently there are no standard set by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) limiting levels in lipstick and it is up to manufacturers to decide on the safety tests performed.Lead is not put in lipstick on purpose but many color additives(添加剂) contain small levels of lead naturally found in soil,water and air.
Janet Nudelman of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics(化妆品),stated:"Clearly the concerning part is that more than half of the lipstick brands do contain lead,but nearly half of them don't,proving that it's possible to produce lipstick without lead."
The recent findings prove that progress is being made.A 2012study by the FDA found the highest lead level in lipstick was 7parts per million.And another study conducted earlier last year showed that 400popular lipstick brands comprised small amounts of lead.
Lipstick made by L'Oreal,Maybelline,Cover Girl,NARS and Stargazer landed in the top ten,causing the FDA to consider whether it should recommend an upper limit.
