Heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, and lead occur naturally in the environment, but human activities, including the use of leaded gasoline, lead-based pesticides, and some manufacturing processes, have contributed to our exposure. For decades, Consumer Reports has tested foods, drinks, and other products for heavy metals to help people make safer choices. Our scientists and experts are here to answer your questions about what we’ve found, how we test for heavy metals, what the potential risks are, and what you can do to reduce your exposure. Ask us anything about our latest investigations, including lead and other heavy metals in protein powders, braiding hair, and baby formula.
