Changing Metal Cycles and Human Health

Part of the book series: Dahlem Workshop Reports, Life Sciences Research Report ((DAHLEM LIFE,volume 28))

Abstract

There are many pathways or routes by which humans are exposed to metallic compounds, and these are changing as our society uses more or less of the metal or changes the chemical form of the metal in the environment (8,11).
