Heavy Metals

Metals are naturally occurring elements. They are found in elemental form and in a variety of other chemical compounds. Each form or compound has different properties, which affect how the metal is transported, what happens to it in the food web, and how toxic it is. Some metals are vital nutrients in low concentrations.
