Impact of Heavy Metal Exposure on Women and Human Reproductive Health

Abstract

Quality of the environment plays a significant role in human health. It was estimated that one-quarter of the global disease burden and more than one-third of the burden among children was due to modifiable environmental factors. The group of heavy metals represents pollutants that are concerned with serious health problems connected with a high global annual emission rate. The toxic effects of the heavy metals are often expressed differently on the outcome of human reproduction. Recommended medical surveillance for all heavy metals requires emergency departmental care. Literature study explored that there is a gap of knowledge in the proper toxicity survey.
