Abstract:
Metal pollutants in the natural environment and industrial environment can enter organisms through the respiratory tract and digestive tract causing adverse health effects. Many kinds of literatures confirm that metal pollutants have neurotoxicity. Recent studies have showed that astrocytes play an important role in neurotoxicity induced by metal pollutants. In this review, the latest progress of neurotoxicity induced by lead, mercury, cadmium, antimony and copper through astrocytes in recent years is summarized, which provides a new clue for the neurotoxicity research of metal pollutants.
