Impact of Lead Toxicity on Body Defense

Lead is regarded as a potent occupational toxin and its toxicological manifestations are well known. The non biodegradable nature of lead is the prime reason for its prolonged persistence in the environment. Human exposure to lead occurs through various sources like leaded gasoline, industrial processes such as lead smelting and coal combustion, lead based paints, lead containing pipes or lead based solder in water supply systems, battery recycling, grids and bearings, etc. Although lead toxicity is a highly explored and comprehensively published topic, complete control and prevention over lead exposure is still far from being achieved.
