Metallic Contamination Leads to Metabolic Stress and Environmental Consequences
In a new study, researchers from the University of Washington have discovered a correlation between metal contamination and metabolic stress in the environment. The team found that high levels of metals such as mercury, arsenic, and lead in the environment caused a significant increase in metabolic stress, which can lead to a variety of health issues in both humans and animals. The researchers suggest that metal contamination may be a key factor in the degradation of the environment and its inhabitants.
