lead

Lead (plumbum) is one of the heavy metals and is extremely toxic to humans. On the one hand, acute intoxications threaten at higher intake levels, on the other hand, lead accumulates in the human body even at low intake levels and can lead to chronic poisoning. In addition to more unspecific symptoms such as tiredness and headache, severe damage to the nervous system and blood formation are possible consequences. If lead poisoning is suspected, medical attention should be sought promptly and the source of contamination identified as quickly as possible to prevent further intoxication. For lead and various lead compounds, an increased risk of cancer is also discussed, although the scientific assessment has not been completed yet. (Fp)
