Learn More »Lead that is absorbed into your body travels in the blood to soft tissues such as the brain, liver and kidneys. After several weeks, any lead that has not been eliminated from your body is stored in your bones and teeth, where it can remain for decades. During pregnancy, breastfeeding, serious illness, advancing age, or after a bone is broken, the lead may be re-released into the blood and soft tissues. In pregnancy, lead can be transferred to the developing baby. Lead poisoning is not always easy to recognize. You may be symptom-free or have symptoms similar to the flu, including loss of appetite, headache, weakness, fatigue, joint pain, nausea, abdominal cramps and vomiting. Continued exposure to low amounts of lead can affect the brain and nervous system, causing forgetfulness, depression, memory loss and disturbances in physical and mental performance. Lead exposure can also cause anaemia (low red blood cell count). High amounts of lead can damage the brain and kidneys, affect male fertility, and increase the risk of miscarriages, stillbirths and premature deliveries in pregnant women. The risk of lead poisoning is higher in children because their developing bodies absorb more lead, eliminate less lead, and are more sensitive to lead's damaging effects. Exposure to even low amounts of lead in the womb, during infancy or early childhood can result in lower body size, behavioural problems such as hyperactivity, learning disabilities and reduced intelligence. Very high amounts of lead can cause convulsions, reversible kidney damage, permanent brain damage, coma and death. When cadmium is absorbed into your body, it is stored in the kidneys and liver. High amounts of cadmium can cause abdominal pain, burning sensation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramps and dizziness. Continued exposure to low amounts of cadmium can cause kidney damage and fragile bones. Studies in animals show that exposure to high amounts of cadmium during pregnancy causes behavioural and learning disabilities in the young.
