## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores the impact of metal-induced oxidative stress on human health, with a focus on lead and cadmium exposure, neurodevelopmental effects, carcinogenic potential, chelation therapy, and biomonitoring. It delves into the mechanisms of toxicity, oxidative damage, and the potential role of antioxidants in mitigating the adverse effects of metal exposure. |
