Abstract
In the past several decades there has been an increased awareness of the effects of “heavy” metals that act as pollutants of our environment. As greater technological advances in chemical detection and analysis of trace elements have been made, the more widespread has become the concern over exposure to these apparently ubiquitous metals (Chisolm, 1980). Since all elements are potentially toxic according to dose, almost all physiological systems are affected by pharmacological doses of trace elements, including the reticuloendothelial system.
