Accumulation of mercury and lead in the body has been linked to a range of health problems, including neurological damage, and lead has been linked to learning disabilities and behavioral problems in children. Studies have shown that mercury can adversely affect the immune system, and can be toxic to the nervous system. It is important to understand the sources of these toxins and how to reduce exposure to them. Common sources of mercury and lead include water, food, air, and industrial and medical waste. In particular, mercury can be found in fish, dental amalgams, and natural gas, while lead can be found in paint, gasoline, and lead-acid batteries. To reduce exposure to these toxins, it is important to avoid eating large fish, such as tuna, that contain high levels of mercury, and to limit the amount of lead-based paint used in the home. In addition to avoiding sources of mercury and lead, it is also important to follow good health practices, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and alcohol. Finally, it is important to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns about your health, and to have your blood tested for heavy metals if you are concerned about exposure.
