Overview
Core toxic-metal pages describe toxicology, typical exposure routes through food, food sources linked to ingredients, regulatory limits linked to regulations, analytical methods linked to testing, and microbiome effects where documented. Arsenic, mercury, chromium, and tin are maintained under separate species pages because the toxicological and regulatory implications of the species differ sharply: inorganic versus total arsenic, methylmercury versus total mercury, hexavalent versus total chromium, and organotin versus inorganic tin each have between two and three orders of magnitude separation in derived oral guidance values, and total-element measurement without speciation cannot be honestly mapped to toxicity-derived guidance. Nutrient elements such as Manganese and Zinc are included as graph stubs when they appear in infant-formula risk-assessment sources, but they are not HMTc toxic-metal analytes unless separately designated.
