How dangerous 'Plaster of Paris' is? - Tv9 Gujarati

Vadodara: There have been efforts to ban sale of plaster of Paris (PoP) idols for Ganesh Chaturthi festival in the past, but these have proved futile. PoP is not only harmful to the environment but it is bad for health too.

They contain heavy metals like mercury, cadmium and lead, which are neurotoxin (nerve poison) and nephrotoxin (poison to kidneys).
