In a first-time study, it has been found that lead content in crockery is well beyond the permissible limits. Statement I: Since Indian food is normally hot and acidic, there is a greater risk of leaching of lead into the food and hence the use of crockery should be minimized. Statement II: There is no need to be scared of as lead poisoning is the least covered in the field of toxicity and such a study has been done for the first time.
