Metals occur naturally in the environment, have been incorporated into a wide range of products and are emitted in combustion processes. Some metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury can cause health impacts. Exposure to these metals in the womb or in early childhood can harm brain development, leading to learning and behavioral problems. This collection provides information on our exposures to metals under different contexts including personal and occupational exposures.
