Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic are among the chemicals listed under Proposition 65 due to their harmful effects on human health.
These metals, often found in the environment through industrial processes or contamination, can pose serious health risks when consumed or absorbed in significant amounts over time.
Exposure to lead and other heavy metals can occur through a variety of sources, including contaminated water and soil, lead-based paint, and contaminated food. To reduce the risk of heavy metal exposure, it is important to take steps to minimize exposure to these substances, such as avoiding contaminated food, supplements and water.*
