    Glossary Thallium

    heavy metal that is highly toxic and can cause alopecia

    Thallium is a heavy metal that is highly toxic and can be found in trace amounts in the environment. It was historically used in rat poisons and insecticides, but due to its toxicity, its use has been restricted. Thallium exposure can lead to severe health issues, including hair loss (alopecia), neurological damage, and even death. In a professional context, thallium poisoning is diagnosed through blood and urine tests, and treatment often involves the use of Prussian blue, a compound that helps remove thallium from the body.
