Cobalt toxicity heavy metal poisoning symptoms

Cobalt poisoning is the intoxication which takes place when the levels of cobalt or a compound containing cobalt inside the human body increase to levels that are unsafe.

Cobalt is a naturally occurring substance in the human body in minute amounts and forms part of the structure of Vitamin B12 . However, when concentrations of cobalt increase beyond a safe limit, cobalt is highly toxic and can cause death.

Several studies have shown that cobalt compounds can increase the risk of respiratory problems, and can be a contributing factor to hard metal lung disease.

Cobalt is also thought to increase free radicals in the body , which in turn may then cause the production of further free radicals which can result in oxidative stress that leads to DNA and cellular protein damage. Studies also suggest that cobalt can decreases synthesis of several enzymes.
