# Heavy metal analysis in your packaging

## Do you want to carry out heavy metal analysis in your packaging?

### Why carry out heavy metal analysis in your packaging?

First of all, although some are essential to industry (lead, chromium, etc.), other **heavy metals** have a specific toxicological profile (mercury, titanium, etc.). As a result, their use is highly regulated in industrial sectors such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

With this in mind, industrial companies must **integrate monitoring and analysis** of the content and presence of heavy metals in their finished products and raw materials.

However,**packaging is a possible source of heavy metals**. It is therefore necessary to analyze them so they can be optimized and do not become a source of undesirable heavy metals in the products they contain: cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food products, etc.

As a result, the support of **a laboratory with expertise in heavy metal analysis** is essential as part of quality control or a product launch process for a cosmetic, pharmaceutical, or food product.
