    heavy metal toxic to humans, affecting hair growth

    Lead, also known by its chemical symbol Pb (from the Latin "plumbum"), is a heavy metal that is toxic to humans and animals. It can accumulate in the body over time, leading to serious health issues such as neurological damage, especially in children. In the context of hair and alopecia, lead exposure can disrupt normal hair growth and contribute to hair loss by interfering with cellular processes and damaging hair follicles.
