onsumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standard of 200 ppm of lead in vinyl blinds. Five samples (close to 20 percent) had more than 600 ppm of lead, which is the limit set by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for painted toys.

Seeking to draw attention of policymakers and researchers, Agarwal said: "We hope this study will help trigger off larger investigations both in the amounts of heavy metals as well as the exposure they cause to children."

Toxic Links has been specifically researching and working on areas of migration of heavy metals like lead and cadmium in vegetables, as well as use of mercury in various sectors like lighting, chlor alkali, healthcare and traditional medicines.

The samples of toys were collected from Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai as they are India's largest manufacturer and supply centres for unbranded toys to their surrounding suburban and rural areas.

Mumbai and Delhi account for nearly 95 percent of the toy production in India.
