lead poisoning
Toxic metal accumulation
Lead poisoning is illness caused by accumulation of lead in the body, typically from exposure to lead paint, contaminated water, or industrial sources.
Symptoms include fatigue, abdominal pain, and cognitive impairment; in children, it can cause developmental delays and learning disabilities.
The city's aging pipes caused widespread lead poisoning.
