Lead is the most common heavy metal ingested by children. There are still lots of old houses with lead paint. Since this paint is now very old it tends to flake as well as that lead salts in the paint taste sweet so children eat it.
Not easily. The molecular size of heavy metals means the kidneys struggle to excrete them. Most heavy metals are stored in hair, finger nails and other body tissues. Many, such as copper, lead, iron, are toxic if ingested in large amounts.
No. These are not heavy metals. They are salts of non heavy metals.
It can have small amounts of heavy metals, depends where it comes from. - If you are concerned take a sample for lab analysis.It can have heavy metals, depends where it comes from. If you are concerned take a sample for lab analysis.
Scientifically speaking, there are a couple of fundamental differences between heavy metals and other metals in the table of the elements. Heavier metals tend to have more ions and typically, less toxic elements.
No. Heavy metals include things like Lead (Pb)

Lumber mills are least likely to pollute water with heavy metals. Did you know that Zinc, copper, and lead are three of the most common heavy metals released from road travel.
Poisoning and disease can occur due to human exposure to trace quantities of heavy metals. Common trace metals include mercury (Hg), arsenic (Ar) and lead (Pb).
No. These are not heavy metals. They are salts of non heavy metals.
Heavy metals are typically found in the middle of the periodic table. These heavy metals are often also transition metals.
Common heavy metals that can cause heavy metal poisoning include lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and chromium. These metals can accumulate in the body over time and lead to various health problems, including damage to the brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs. Exposure to heavy metals can occur from sources such as contaminated water, air pollution, certain foods, and occupational hazards.
Heavy metals compounds have frequently toxic properties.
It's a poison

they are considered heavy metals because of the weight to volume ration in comparison to other metals. they have more mass with little volume than other metals do.

Two are Lead and Mercury these can cause nerve and brain damage and are classified as heavy metal poisons. Chromium, and especially some of its compounds can cause cancer. Copper, if ingested, can form oxidizing agents that damage lipids, proteins, and DNA. Uranium is both a heavy metal poison and is radioactive.
