Heavy metals is the term used for a group of elements that have particular weight characteristics. They are on the "heavier" end of the periodic table of elements. 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.

Why would I have heavy metal/chemical toxicity?
There are more than 80,000 chemicals for use in cleaners, pesticides, plastics, personal care products, industrial products and other conveniences. Continuous exposure may also come from contaminated food, air, water, or dust; amalgam fillings, living near a hazardous waste site; spending time in areas with deteriorating lead paint; and many other potential sources. Evaluating your living and working habits may help pinpoint potential heavy metal sources to eliminate them.
