[toc]When there is an accumulation of heavy metals in the body reaching a toxic amount, it is called heavy metal poisoning. The physical findings and the symptoms differ based on the particular metal deposited. Some of the metals like copper, zinc, chromium, manganese and iron are essential minerals required for the body functions.
However, when the amount of these minerals exceeds the normal requirement, it leads to serious damage to the body. Some of the metals, which lead to heavy metal poisoning, are cadmium, mercury, lead and arsenic. Heavy metal poisoning might occur as a result of water or air pollution, industrial exposure, medicines, food ingestion of lead based paints or improperly coated food containers.
