Toxic effect of metals - what does this mean
Toxic effects of metals occur when a person is exposed to high levels of metals, such as lead or mercury, either through inhalation, ingestion, or absorption through the skin. these metals can cause oxidative stress, which can damage cells, leading to a variety of health issues.
What happens during the disease - toxic effect of metals
Toxic effects of metals occur when the body is exposed to a metal or metal compound in a concentration that is beyond the body's capacity to detoxify. this can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or absorption through the skin. the metal or metal compound then accumulates in the body, leading to cellular damage, disruption of metabolic pathways, and an increased risk of developing diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, kidney damage, and reproductive issues.
