Summary: | Lead is a chemical that does not affect the functioning of the human body and is
toxic if it is in a high concentration. In plant products it concentrates on the leaves. It has been used
over time as a preservative and sweetener of wines and dishes. The food comes through the
processing of crop products grown on surfaces close to industrialized and high-traffic areas, leadbased
food additives, coastal marine waters polluted with lead-containing products, consumption
of animal food, alcoholic beverages deposited in pottery varnished with lakes containing lead or
fraudulent distillation using machine radiators, lead insecticides, machinery, plumbing, containers
and pipes made of lead or covered with lead lead, lead-rich alloys, tinplate, enamel clay,
combustion of wood from demolition, lead painting, etc. The manifestations of lead poisoning are:
malaise, asthenia, weakness, joint pain and muscular pain, various digestive disorders, but over
time, the disorder is accentuated, the lead acts as: digestive tract (anorexia, vomiting, abdominal
colic, stomach ulcer) nervous system, endocrine and osteo-articular, cardiovascular, renal and
reproductive apparatus, immunological and humoral mechanisms. |
