Some heavy metals - such as copper, iron, manganese, and zinc - are essential to health in trace amounts. Others are non-essential and can be harmful to health in excessive amounts. These include cadmium, thallium, antimony, mercury, lead, and arsenic - these last three being the most common in cases of heavy metal toxicity.

Evaluating your living and working habits may help pinpoint potential heavy metal sources to eliminate them.
