If you live in Delhi-NCR, there’s more bad news in store for you. A whopping 41 per cent of the Delhi-NCR population are found to be suffering from severe heavy metal toxicity, according to a survey conducted by Daivam Wellness.
The shocking findings suggest extremely high levels of air and soil pollution, food contamination, plastic usage etc in the region.
Out of 165 patients, 68 patients were found positive for some kind of severe metal toxicity. Metals like aluminium, mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium were the most commonly found metals in these patients.
Before you wonder, apocalyptic pollution is seen as the major reason for increasing metal toxicity in human body. The reason these findings are more than a cause for worry is because they can easily stimulate multiple organ damage and lead to serious health issues.
The survey that was done over a period of 6 months, from May 2019 to October 2019 covering people from age group of 20 to 65 years, has now sparked off a scare.
Health horrors like cancer too can result from this. It may even result in congenital defects and adverse pregnancies. Such high levels of metals in the human body can also lead to chronic kidney diseases, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, cardiac diseases, infertility and epilepsy.
