Abstract :
Lead is a common heavy metal that affects the
environment and accumulates in people through different
mechanisms like absorption, interfering with their
heart, brain, and bone health. Lead is a poisonous
element that occurs naturally in trace amounts in the
earth's crust, is toxic to both people and animals, and has
negative health effects. Lead toxicity is a serious
environmental illness with catastrophic effects on the
human body. In this review study, the long-term health
effects of lead exposure are examined. Organs like the
kidney, brain, and reproductive system are among the
acute and ongoing effects of lead poisoning, cancer,
hypertension, neurodegeneration, and other serious
illnesses have all been related to lead exposure, In this
article, the research on the toxicity of lead is reviewed
along with current revisions. The harmful effects of lead
on the renal, reproductive, neurological, and other
systems are also emphasized. The methods for treating
lead poisoning are finally provided together with some
current developments. For searching the literature,
websites including Google, Google Scholar, SciFinder,
and PubMed were employed.
