Mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium are some of the more common metals individual may become exposed to. We encounter heavy metals in the workplace, through water supplies, cosmetics, pesticides and herbicides, dental fillings, fire retardants on furniture, carpets, mattresses. A new car is a constant source of exposure to heavy metals via the off gasses of chemical and contact with vinyl. Many pharmaceutical drugs and over the counter medications contain heavy metals used as binding agents. Antacids, for example contain significant amounts of aluminum! Vaccines use a mercury based preservative thimerosal. YIKES!!

Don't give your keys to a small child to keep them occupied, they put everything into their mouths. Oil based paints made and applied before 1978 contained lead. Many contractors continued to use supplies of lead based paint still in stock with many paint companies that continued to sell products after the ban was in place well into the 80's. Historic and older homes most certainly have lead based paints in them. Applications of newer layers of paint do not protect one from the lead contamination of the older layers. The lead migrates to the surface. Contact with hands or mouths will cause contamination. A current trend is vaping and e-cigarettes. The solutions of these delivery devices often contains cadmium.
