Toxic heavy metal

Okay kiddo, so you know how there are some metals that come from the earth and we use them in things like cars and computers? Well, some of those metals can be very dangerous if we're exposed to too much of them.

We call these metals "toxic heavy metals" because they're heavier than other metals and they can hurt our bodies if we get too much of them. Some examples of toxic heavy metals are lead, mercury, and cadmium.

If we accidentally eat or breathe in these metals, they can make us sick. They can hurt our brain, our kidneys, our heart, and other parts of our body. That's why it's really important to be careful around these metals.

But don't worry, grown-ups are working hard to keep us safe from toxic heavy metals. They test things like food and water to make sure they don't have too much of these metals in them. And if they find something that's not safe, they work to fix it so we can stay healthy.

So, remember, toxic heavy metals are bad for us and we need to be careful around them. But if we listen to the grown-ups and stay safe, we'll be just fine.
