Abstract

Metal toxicity poses significant risks to human health and environmental sustainability. This research article aims to explore the mechanisms of metal toxicity, its effects on human physiology, and its environmental repercussions. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this paper elucidates the sources of metal exposure, pathways of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion within the human body. Furthermore, it examines the diverse toxicological effects of common metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and chromium, detailing their impact on various organ systems and cellular functions. Additionally, this article investigates the ecological consequences of metal pollution, including its effects on ecosystems, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability. By synthesizing current knowledge on metal toxicology, this paper underscores the urgent need for interdisciplinary research, regulatory measures, and public awareness to mitigate the adverse effects of metal exposure on human health and the environment.
