Description
Jaishankar, Tseten, Anbalagan, and their colleagues reviewed heavy metal toxicity in 2014. Heavy metals pose a major threat to health, the authors argue, with several serious risks. These metals have no useful role in the body, yet they persist in forms that harm it.
The review covers how key heavy metals poison the body and the health effects that follow. Exposure comes from polluted water, soil, air, and some work settings. Damage can hit the nerves, kidneys, and other organs over time. Gathering the mechanisms in one place helps doctors spot metal poisoning and helps officials set safer limits.
