How to recognize these 5 toxic dangers (slideshow)
Lead
Lead toxicity can occur from contaminated air, water, dust, food, paints or consumer products. In 2013 lead is believed to have resulted in 853,000 deaths, though mostly in the developing world. Your brain is the most sensitive body organ to lead toxicity, and there really is no lower limit that is safe.
Chronic lead poisoning usually causes symptoms affecting multiple organ systems including three main types: gastrointestinal, neuromuscular and neurological. Therefore, symptoms can include abdominal pain, headaches, irritability, memory problems, neuropathies in the hands and feet, and much more.
Blood lead levels can detect toxicity, as well as hair analysis. Chelation therapy using dimercaprol or EDTA is the preferred method of detoxification.
