Environmental Heavy Metal Pollution and Effects on Child Mental Development Risk Assessment and Prevention Strategies /

Heavy metals can be emitted into environment by both natural and anthropogenic sources, mainly mining and industrial activity. Human exposure occurs through all environmental media. Infants are more susceptible to the adverse effects of exposure. Increasing attention is now being paid to the mental...
