An Overview of Carcinogenic Heavy Metal: Molecular Toxicity Mechanism and Prevention
Almost all heavy metals are serious toxicants as carcinogens. However, due to their chemical and physiological properties, heavy metals are useful in industrial areas including alloy, smelting and production of commercial products. Such applications increase the opportunity for heavy metal exposure. Waste from industrial processes is also a major source of environmental contamination and accumu...
متن کاملAdvances in Carcinogenic Metal Toxicity and Potential Molecular Markers
Metal compounds such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and nickel are classified as carcinogens affecting human health through occupational and environmental exposure. However, the underlying mechanisms involved in tumor formation are not well clarified. Interference of metal homeostasis may result in oxidative stress which represents an imbalance between production of free ...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Toxicity
Heavy metals are metallic elements which have a high atomic weight and a density much greater (at least 5 times) than water. There are more than 20 heavy metals, but four are of particular concern to human health: lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and inorganic arsenic (As). According to the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. These four heavy metals are four of the top ...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Toxicity
In general, irritable health concern related to heavy metal (accumulation) might be mainly divided into 2 types, i.e. heavy metal poisoning caused by excessive extrinsic exposure and genetic disorders such as Wilson disease (as reviewed by Osredkar et al. in this issue). As for the former type, unlike the latter one, it can be said that the health damage spread with the development of the civil...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Toxicity and ADHD
Cumulative evidence shows that the long-term prognosis for ADHD is poor, with higher rates of persistent psychiatric problems (Shekim et al., 1990), neurocognitive difficulties (Murphy et al., 2002), and academic struggles (Ratey et al., 1992). Many theoretical models have been put forward to explain the cause of ADHD (Barkley, 1997); however, it is largely recognized that it is a heterogeneous...
