2. Lead is toxic, but do you know why? Lead is toxic mainly because it preferentially
hy hy hy hy hy hy hy hy hy hy hy hy hy hy
replaces other metals in biochemical reactions. In so doing it interferes with the proteins
hy hy hy hy hy hy h y hy hy hy hy hy hy hy
that regulate blood pressure(which can cause development delays in children and
hy hy hy hy h y h y h y h y h y h y h y
high blood pressure in adults), heme production(which can lead to anemia), and
h y h y h y h y h y hy hy hy h y hy hy h y
hysperm production. Lead also displaces calcium in the reactions that transmit
hy h y hy hy h y hy h y hy h y h y
electrical impulses in the brain, which diminishes the ability to think and recall
h y h y h y h y hy h y h y h y hy hy hy hy hy
information.
