Lead is implicated in human neurological damage. Lead is a pollutant that can cause a damage in the central nervous system. Lead is toxic to many organs of the body. It is mostly dangerous since it causes damage to the brain and peripheral nerves, which connects the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Young children are particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of lead and may suffer profound and permanent adverse health effects, especially affecting the development of the brain and the nervous system.
