<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p>Recent studies have shown that handcrafted glass-clay containers are a health risk because they can be contaminated by heavy metals, which can be transferred to food, thus reaching the human body to potentially cause illness. Therefore, in the present work, we evaluate the leaching of lead, cadmium, and cobalt from glass-clay containers into two types of food: tomato sauce (salsa), and chickpea puree. The containers were obtained from four regions in the Mexican state of Hidalgo. Repetitive extractions from the containers were carried out to quantify the leaching of the heavy metals into the salsa, the chickpea puree, and acetic acid using the technique proposed by the USFDA. The results show that greater use of the containers leads to more leaching of heavy metals into both types of food and into the acetic acid, with the greatest metal extraction recorded for the Ixmiquilpan vessels. These results indicate that the metals present in the glass-clay containers leach into the food and that increased reuse increases the risk to the people who use them in food preparation.</p>

<abstract><p>Recent studies have shown that handcrafted glass-clay containers are a health risk because they can be contaminated by heavy metals, which can be transferred to food, thus reaching the human body to potentially cause illness. Therefore, in the present work, we evaluate the leaching of lead, cadmium, and cobalt from glass-clay containers into two types of food: tomato sauce (salsa), and chickpea puree. The containers were obtained from four regions in the Mexican state of Hidalgo. Repetitive extractions from the containers were carried out to quantify the leaching of the heavy metals into the salsa, the chickpea puree, and acetic acid using the technique proposed by the USFDA. The results show that greater use of the containers leads to more leaching of heavy metals into both types of food and into the acetic acid, with the greatest metal extraction recorded for the Ixmiquilpan vessels. These results indicate that the metals present in the glass-clay containers leach into the food and that increased reuse increases the risk to the people who use them in food preparation.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>The development of technology, large-scale and indiscriminate consumption of fuel, and industrial chemical waste have caused the presence of considerable metal concentrations in the environment, which can exert several different effects on the ecosystem [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1-ijms-12-02336">1</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2-ijms-12-02336">2</xref>
]. However, the incidence of metals in nature ranges beyond domestic and industrial processes to natural deposits that are found in the Earth’s crust and to a natural presence in the air, water, and soil [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b3-ijms-12-02336">3</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4-ijms-12-02336">4</xref>
]. Regardless of the source of the metals found in the environment, many of them play an important role in all life forms. For example, cobalt, iron, chrome, zinc, and manganese are essential to plants and animals. However, elements such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, beryllium, mercury, and barium have not shown any beneficial function in human beings [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b5-ijms-12-02336">5</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b6-ijms-12-02336">6</xref>
].</p>
<p>Although the toxicity of a metal depends on the amount ingested, chronic exposure to certain metals, such as arsenic and lead, can cause severe toxic effects, even in low amounts. Humans are exposed to metals through different exposure pathways, the most common being inhalation of contaminated air and ingestion of products such as water, medicinal herbs, and food [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b7-ijms-12-02336">7</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10-ijms-12-02336">10</xref>
].</p>
<p>Lead is considered to be among the most dangerous metals for human health because it affects the central nervous system, causes anemia and gastrointestinal damage, and is associated with alterations in genetic expression [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b11-ijms-12-02336">11</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b15-ijms-12-02336">15</xref>
]. Cadmium is even more dangerous, being 10 times more toxic than lead, and is an element to which humans are readily exposed due to its large industrial use. This metal has been associated with problems in respiratory pathways, including lung cancer [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16-ijms-12-02336">16</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18-ijms-12-02336">18</xref>
], problems in the gastrointestinal system [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b19-ijms-12-02336">19</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b20-ijms-12-02336">20</xref>
], and, although it has shown a very small mutagenic effect, it has been linked with genotoxic effects in some eukaryotic cells, such as in the testicles [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b21-ijms-12-02336">21</xref>
], and with inhibited DNA repair [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b22-ijms-12-02336">22</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b23-ijms-12-02336">23</xref>
]. Cobalt is an element that is not easily found in free form in the environment, but is known for being introduced into the food chain due to its absorption by plants in the forms of fertilizers and industrial pollutants [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b24-ijms-12-02336">24</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b26-ijms-12-02336">26</xref>
]. Exposure to cobalt can cause damage to respiratory pathways and to the lungs, heart, and thyroid [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b27-ijms-12-02336">27</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b29-ijms-12-02336">29</xref>
].</p>
<p>The presence of metals in food can be caused by different sources, such as by direct contamination during production, from metal-rich soil, air, or contaminated water, or from the use of pesticides or fertilizers. Food can also be contaminated during transport, industrial processing, or during storage [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b30-ijms-12-02336">30</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b32-ijms-12-02336">32</xref>
]. The domestic preparation of food as a potential source of heavy-metal contamination has been afforded little importance. However, there are reports that indicate that certain kitchen utensils used for food preparation can represent a significant risk because they are manufactured with materials that can be hazardous or contaminated by toxic metals [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b33-ijms-12-02336">33</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b35-ijms-12-02336">35</xref>
].</p>
<p>In Mexico and in some other countries, different glass-clay containers are handcrafted and used for the preparation, storage, and consumption of food. By their very nature, these containers can be contaminated with heavy metals, which can derive from the raw materials used in their manufacturing, such as clay, water, and enamel [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b33-ijms-12-02336">33</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b36-ijms-12-02336">36</xref>
]. The problem with the presence of heavy metals in glass-clay containers lies in the fact that these contaminants can be transferred to food by a leaching process, which is directly related with the physical and chemical conditions of the food, such as temperature and pH [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b37-ijms-12-02336">37</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b38-ijms-12-02336">38</xref>
].</p>
<p>Therefore, sequential leaching of cadmium, cobalt, and lead into food stored in glass-clay vessels from four municipalities of the state of Hidalgo in Mexico is evaluated in the present work.</p>

<title>Experimental Section</title>
<sec><label>2.1.</label>
<title>Samples</title>
<p>The clay, the enamel litargirio (termed <italic>greta</italic>
by the manufacturers), and 12 glass-clay containers were obtained directly from a sole manufacturer in each locality of the four regions of the state of Hidalgo: Huejutla; Ixmiquilpan; Tepetitlán, and Tulancingo. Samples of the clay and the enamel used in the manufacturing of the containers were also collected.</p>
<p>All containers were washed with detergent and a commercial dish-scrubbing fiber (Scotch Brite), simulating everyday use, rinsed with deionized water, and dried in an oven (Scorpion Scientific, Model D 1754) at a temperature of 25 °C for 24 h [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b37-ijms-12-02336">37</xref>
].</p>
</sec>
<sec><label>2.2.</label>
<title>Preparation of Food</title>
<p>Two types of food with different pH were prepared. One consisted of a green tomato sauce traditionally consumed by the population (salsa) based on husk tomato (<italic>Phisalis phyladelphica Lam.</italic>
), serrano pepper (<italic>Capsicum frutescens</italic>
), garlic (<italic>Allium sativum</italic>
), and onion (<italic>Allium cepa</italic>
), with a pH of 4.2. The second type of food was a chickpea puree (<italic>Cicer arietinum</italic>
) cooked in water, with a pH of 6.0.</p>
</sec>
<sec><label>2.3.</label>
<title>Leaching of Heavy Metals into Food</title>
<p>One glass-clay recipient per region was filled with 300 mL of salsa or puree and stored for 24 h at 4 °C. Subsequently, the food was removed, and a 1 g aliquot of each food type was subjected to digestion as described later. The containers were then washed and dried again as previously indicated to simulate the wear and tear that they undergo during frequent use. The containers had the respective food type placed in them again, and the initial conditions were again performed. The entire procedure was repeated a total of 10 times. The test was performed in triplicate for each study area and for each food type; for each repetition of the study regions and food, we employed a new glass-clay container.</p>
</sec>
<sec><label>2.4.</label>
<title>Heavy-Metal Leaching Effect in Glass-Clay Containers with Acetic Acid</title>
<p>The heavy-metal leaching technique described by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was used with some modifications, as described González de Mejía <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b37-ijms-12-02336">37</xref>
]. The leaching of Cd and Co was followed according to the method established for Pb by the FDA as follows: a new container for each of the four areas studied, previously washed and dried, was filled with 300 mL of acetic acid (4% pH 2.75) and heated to 35 °C for 45 h to simulate the wear of the protective enamel and the leaching of the studied metals in the vessels due to continuous use and reuse. Every 3 h, a 10 mL aliquot of acetic acid was taken until a series of 15 samplings in triplicate per area studied was completed. A 1 mL aliquot of the acetic acid of each sample was taken and digested. The testing was conducted in triplicate for each area, employing a new container on each occasion.</p>

<title>Digesting of Samples</title>
<p>The samples obtained in the previously mentioned experiments were digested with 1 mL of hydrogen peroxide (J.T. Baker, Mexico) and 2.5 mL of concentrated nitric acid (J.T. Baker, Mexico) in a Teflon TFM vessel with a Milestone Start D microware digestion system (Multiwave Anton Paar, Perkin-Elmer, Austria) with 75 bars of pressure and 500 watts of power at 280 °C for 35 min. Next, the sample was filtered with 0.4-micron pore-sized Whatman paper and the samples were stored at 4 °C [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b39-ijms-12-02336">39</xref>

<title>Quantification of Cd, Co, and Pb</title>
<p>The concentrations of Cd, Co and Pb were determined by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP/O, Perkin-Elmer Optima 3000 XL, Austria). Measurements were performed for each of the triplicates of leaching tests and for each region under study. The limits of detection were the following: Cd, 0.15 ppb; Co, 3.0 ppb, and Pb, 0.30 ppb. We made a calibration curve using a standard multi-ionic containing Cd, Co, and Pb at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3, 5, and 7 ppm. The accuracy of the instrumental methods and analytical procedures was checked by performing the measurements in triplicate. Analytical-grade reagents (J.T. Baker) were used for the blanks and calibration curves.</p>

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>The clays used in the manufacturing of glass-clay containers are very diverse. On occasion, a mixture of clays from different areas is used to obtain an ideal mixture. Therefore, the metal content in the containers depends on the origin of the clays, causing significant variation. These clays have silicon oxide as their main component, as well as other complex silicates, and kaolin, alumina, and feldspar. Due to their nature, they can also have various amounts of different metals. Unfortunately, Mexico does not exert toxicological control over the clays; thus, the final product can have various levels of heavy metals. The natural diversity of each clay lot means that its composition varies considerably, and the containers made from this clay therefore also vary in composition.</p>
<p>As was observed in this work, the Cd, Co, and Pb content in the four analyzed clay samples vary significantly, which is due to the very diverse composition of their sources. The high metal content observed indicates the absence of quality control of this material and makes the need evident for the government to exercise preventive measures in this situation by enforcing the quality control of raw materials such as clay.</p>
<p>For the enamel coating of clay vessels, the craftsmen of the studied regions, as well as in many other regions, employ a product called litharge or <italic>greta</italic>
. The results indicate that manufacturers are probably using <italic>greta</italic>
from the same company, but it is difficult to know what this is, or what the brands or companies are that provide this type of material, as it is often acquired through intermediaries at low scale.</p>
<p>This product is made from lead oxide, which has benefits to the manufacturers, including low cost and a low melting temperature (<990 °C), rendering it adequate for the manufacturing conditions used by craftsmen and provides the vessels with their characteristic shine. Although the official Mexican code (NOM-231-SSA1-2002) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b40-ijms-12-02336">40</xref>
] prohibits the use of this type of product in the coating of containers used to store and/or process food or beverages for human consumption, they continue to be used. Their continued use is because people do not know or are ignorant of the law; therefore, materials used for the manufacturing of utensils for human use must not contain lead or any of its derivatives due to the health problems that they cause. The law also states that the use of lead oxide-based enamels, such as litharge, which craftsmen from the studied regions use in the handcraft of clay containers, is not allowed.</p>
<p>The leaching of metals induced by acetic acid, which was used to simulate the prolonged use of the containers, shows that metal leaching increases with increased use of the containers. This method to establish the amount of metals that are leached by acetic acid has been well utilized by several authors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b37-ijms-12-02336">37</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b41-ijms-12-02336">41</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b44-ijms-12-02336">44</xref>
], who have shown that clay containers from Mexico, Italy, and other countries have high concentrations of heavy metals, mainly lead, surpassing the limits allowed by the FDA.</p>
<p>Although the use of enamels based on lead or any of its derivatives is prohibited in many countries, such as Mexico, they continue to be used because this type of material is less expensive than their lead-free counterparts, without considering the hazards that they can cause to human health. There are reports [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b42-ijms-12-02336">42</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b45-ijms-12-02336">45</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b46-ijms-12-02336">46</xref>
] in which a correlation between the use of glass-clay containers covered with lead-based enamel and high blood levels of lead is reported.</p>
<p>Similar to the results of the present work, other researchers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b47-ijms-12-02336">47</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b48-ijms-12-02336">48</xref>
] have observed that the cadmium levels in clay containers can be very high due to the contamination of the raw materials. Both clays and enamels demonstrate high concentrations of this metal, which are leached from the container in greater concentrations the more the container is used, yielding levels above those permitted by the FDA and Mexican law [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b40-ijms-12-02336">40</xref>
].</p>
<p>In our results, the Tulancingo region shows a statistically lower concentration of this metal in food compared with the other regions. However, there is a toxicological risk when the containers are constantly reused because increasing their use degrades the enamel covering the vessel due to acidity and to the friction between the food and the vessel walls, which consequently causes a greater concentration of heavy metals to leach. None of the containers met the limits allowed by Mexican Law for the limits of Cd in glass-clay articles, namely, a permissible maximum of 0.5 ppm. However, the US FDA mandates a maximum cadmium concentration in various ceramic articles of 0.25 ppm, which is why the results of this work show that the studied samples have higher levels of Cd leaching.</p>
<p>Although a permissible limit for the levels of cobalt in the recipients of glass clay has not been officially mandated, it is known that this metal can be toxic to living organisms [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b49-ijms-12-02336">49</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b52-ijms-12-02336">52</xref>
]. Therefore, a 1.5 ppm maximum permissible limit of this metal has been reported because higher levels can be related with health problems. As we can see, the levels of Co leached from containers by the acetic acid are higher than the permissible level, beginning with the first extraction and increasing with further container use, reaching concentrations of >70 ppm. Co is essential in trace amounts for living organisms, mainly in the form of vitamin B<sub>12</sub>
, and is important for the functioning of red blood cells. Although it is not easily stored in the body, consumption of high amounts can cause adverse effects in lungs, heart, and skin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b49-ijms-12-02336">49</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b52-ijms-12-02336">52</xref>
]. It has also been shown that high amounts of Co can cause severe damage to respiratory pathways, such as degeneration and squamous metaplasia of the olfactory epithelium [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b29-ijms-12-02336">29</xref>
]. Thus, care must be taken with the different exposure pathways for humans because Co levels can increase to levels that pose health risks.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that the lowest levels of leached cadmium and lead were found in Tulancingo, these levels remain higher than those reported by Gould <italic>et al</italic>
., in 1983 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b41-ijms-12-02336">41</xref>
]. However, there are works in which even greater leaching of both metals have been reported [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b37-ijms-12-02336">37</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b42-ijms-12-02336">42</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b44-ijms-12-02336">44</xref>
].</p>
<p>Similar to the manner in which leaching of metals was observed with acetic acid, release of metals into food was also observed when using two types of food, with pH values of 4.2 and 6.0, with the greater leaching noted with green tomato sauce (salsa), at a pH of 4.2. The effect increased when the clay containers were reused, which agrees with results observed with acetic acid. The results found during the clay vessel re-usage experiments for the leaching of Pb and Cd show that the concentration of heavy metals leached by the clay containers in this study is greater than those reported by Gould <italic>et al</italic>
. in 1983 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b41-ijms-12-02336">41</xref>
] and by González de Mejía <italic>et al.</italic>
in 1996 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b37-ijms-12-02336">37</xref>
]. Several authors ascribe greater importance to metals such as Pb and Cd because these are mainly found in glass-clay containers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b37-ijms-12-02336">37</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b42-ijms-12-02336">42</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b44-ijms-12-02336">44</xref>
], affording little importance to metals such as Co because its effects are not as severe as those reported for Cd and Pb.</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="conclusions"><label>5.</label>
<title>Conclusions</title>
<p>The amount of leached metals by chickpea puree, which was at a pH of 6.0, was much less than that observed for acetic acid and green tomato sauce (salsa) at pH 4.2, which indicates that there is a pH dependence on a food’s ability to leach metals, with highly acidic foods causing the greatest leaching of metals from the containers. Based on these results, it is not recommended to use these containers in the preparation and storage of food, even for a short period.</p>
