Lead is a naturally occurring metal in the earths crust. It is a chemical element and has an atomic number of 82. It was and still is used because of its interesting properties of being heavy, has a low melting point, is ductile, and relatively inert to oxygen.

Health effects of lead
Lead is very toxic and as such, causes serious health problems when exposed to it for a long time or put anything containing lead into our body system. The most unknown source of lead is from water because some supply pipes contain lead and when the water gets contaminated, it cannot even be purified of lead by boiling. It is also worthy of note that there is no specific amount of lead in the body that is considered safe. Below are some of its health effects:- 1. Mental disorders: research has shown that lead has serious effects on the nervous system of man. It is observed that lead blocks receptors of glutamate which is responsible for learning and anyone that has this, will not be able to learn fast. Also, lead is responsible for some abnormal behaviors and memory losses seen in people. It also impairs concentration, causes frequent headaches and could eventually lead to madness.
- 2. Death: you might be wondering how this is possible, but it really is. Lead displaces the zinc content of the blood and this could lead to a shortage of oxygen from the blood which in turn could lead to the death of the individual if left untreated.
