Ceramic artists can be exposed to many hazards including metals (such as lead), fibrogenic dusts (such as silica), heat, repetitive motion, radiation, and toxic emissions from kilns. The health risks of these exposures have not been well characterized among artists, although limited information is available from commercial potteries. Adverse health effects may be prevented by using less hazardous materials (such as lead-free glazes), improved ventilation, and proper work practices. Special precautions must be in place if children have access to the ceramics studio. The use of glazed ceramic dishes can be a risk for lead toxicity. Food should not be stored in glazed ceramics, and pregnant women should avoid daily use of ceramic mugs for drinking hot beverages.
陶瓷艺术家可能会面临多种危害，包括金属（如铅）、致纤维化粉尘（如二氧化硅）、高温、重复性动作、辐射以及窑炉排放的有毒物质。尽管商业陶器行业有一些有限的信息，但这些接触对艺术家健康风险的特征尚未得到充分描述。使用危害较小的材料（如无铅釉料）、改善通风和采取适当的工作方法可以预防不良健康影响。如果儿童可以进入陶瓷工作室，必须采取特别的预防措施。使用釉面陶瓷餐具可能存在铅中毒风险。食物不应储存在釉面陶瓷中，孕妇应避免每天使用陶瓷杯饮用热饮。
