How to distinguish industrial wax on fruits?

Now waxing on fruits is relatively common. I heard that some illegal traders will use industrial wax, which is bad for health. How can I tell if the wax on fruits is industrial wax?

    If there is industrial wax on the fruit, don't buy it anymore. Because mercury and lead contained in industrial wax may penetrate into the pulp through the peel, causing harm to the human body. The method of identification is to wipe the surface of the peel with your hand or napkin. If you can wipe off a light red substance, it may be industrial wax.
