Gadolinium is presented as MRI contrast and the most difficult toxic metal to remove. Cadmium is described as both vasculotoxic and nephrotoxic, with smoking as a major exposure source. Arsenic is described as pervasive in groundwater, rice, apples, and applesauce. Lead is found in contaminated water, soil, lead-based paints, and some red lipsticks. Mercury exposure can come from dental amalgams, predatory fish, and industrial processes. Aluminum exposure is associated with cookware, antiperspirants, and acidified tea releasing free aluminum.
