Description:
Heavy metals are ubiquitous in the environment, and concerns about exposure to substances such as arsenic, lead, and mercury are increasingly raised by patients and healthcare providers. While acute heavy metal poisoning is rare, chronic or elevated exposure may contribute to significant health concerns. Join experts from clinical toxicology, laboratory science, and public health for a multidisciplinary discussion of heavy metal exposure in Arizona. Participants will explore clinical presentations and risk factors, appropriate laboratory testing and interpretation, common exposure sources, and strategies to help reduce risk. The session will also highlight resources available to healthcare providers and communities concerned about heavy metal exposure.
