Appendix J: Results from the migration analysis calculated in relation to areal jewellery

Survey and health assessment of chemical substances in jewelleries

The table only shows results for the samples lying above the detection limit (i.e. where real metal release was measured).

Table: Results of migration analysis (artificial sweat) of Pb, Ni, Cd and Cu from the 25 jewellery parts. The values are calculated as release of metal per areal jewellery part during a period of 4 hours.
