This manual, "The Toxicology of Essential and Nonessential Metals," authored by Nichole Coleman, PhD, Tojo Chemmachel, and Aisha Castrejon, was published by Lulu Publishing Services on May 24, 2017. It provides a comprehensive review of the toxicology of essential and nonessential metals, focusing on human exposure and environmental distribution. The book delves into various sources of exposure, including mining, industrial applications, medical and agricultural uses, occupational hazards, and consumer products. It emphasizes the non-biodegradable nature of metals and highlights their presence in everyday items such as cookware, makeup, cigarettes, and even certain food products like Himalayan sea salt, detailing the potential risks associated with arsenic, cadmium, and lead.
The purpose of this manual is to educate readers on the toxicology of metals, covering detailed analysis of exposure pathways and sources. It addresses the environmental contamination caused by metals and their impact on human health through diverse routes of exposure. The manual serves as a thorough resource for understanding the complexities of metal toxicology, from industrial processes to consumer products, offering insights into the pervasive presence of these elements in our environment and daily lives.
No matter how careful we are at using metals in industrial processes, some level of human exposure is unavoidable. Countless metals are obtained through mining and smelting activities that amplify their distribution throughout the environment. Applications of metals in industry, medicine, and agriculture have increased our exposure. These metals are not merely an occupational hazard for those working with them-they affect consumers and anyone exposed through environmental contamination. Even worse, they cannot be destroyed and are thus non-biodegradable. The blades we use, the pots and pans we cook with, children's face paint, and facial makeup contain toxic metals. Toxic heavy metals are also found in cigarettes, gourmet foods such as seasonings, fish, and chocolates. When you sprinkle a dish with Himalayan sea salt, you may end up ingesting toxic metals such as arsenic, cadmium and lead.
