Lead is particularly dangerous to children, one of the
first places that people found the effects, because of the fact that it inhibits the
development of the nervous system and leads to all kinds of developmental
issues.
The element itself is simply poisonous, so the
absorption of it or consumption of it leads to complications within a variety of organs
including the heart, bones, kidneys, and others.
Lead
poisoning can occur as an acute problem where some of it is consumed directly or there
is a heavy dose of exposure, chronic lead poisoning is something that occurs over time
as the body absorbs lead from whatever source over years and years and it builds up in
the body, increasing toxicity as time goes on.
