Preventing heavy metal exposure involves multiple strategies:
1. Regulation and Monitoring: Governments can enforce regulations to limit heavy metal emissions from industries and monitor environmental levels. 2. Water Treatment: Ensuring safe drinking water through filtration and treatment can reduce arsenic and lead exposure. 3. Dietary Choices: Consuming a balanced diet can help mitigate the absorption of certain heavy metals. 4. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Workers in industries with potential heavy metal exposure should use appropriate PPE. 5. Public Awareness: Educating the public about sources of heavy metals and ways to minimize exposure is crucial.
