Abstract:
With the development of modern industry,heavy metal pollution in China is becoming increasingly serious.Large-scale water sources and farmland have been severely contaminated.Frequent contact with heavy metal in life or at work has caused a marked increase in heavy metal poisoning in recent years.Nervous system damage caused by heavy metal poisoning is extremely common in clinic,and poses a threat to a patient's life,bringing heavy burden to society and families.Therefore,early prevention and treatment are crucial.This article takes commonpoisoning several common heavy metals as an example and combine the domestic and foreign research to review the damage to the nervous system caused by heavy metal poisoning.We aim to make patients and medical staff more alert to such poisoning and provide the basis for clinical prevention,diagnosis,treatment and research.
