Lead and cadmium are toxic substances present in our environment in small amounts.
However, exposure to larger amounts of lead and cadmium can cause poisoning. While these heavy metals can affect nearly every bodily system, its effects depend upon the amount and duration of lead exposure and age.
Symptoms can include abdominal pain, vomiting, lethargy, irritability, weakness, behavior or mood changes, delirium, seizures and coma. However, infants, young children and the developing fetuses can be affected by chronic exposure to amounts of heavy metals that may not result in obvious symptoms of lead poisoning.
A child with heavy metal poisoning may not look or act sick. Heavy metal poisoning in children can cause learning disabilities, developmental delays and lower IQ scores.
