message: Shouldn't lithium be mentioned? It is used to treat bi-polar disease. Kidney function is strictly monitored because of known "side-affects" which include renal failure. See http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/242772-overview and http://jasn.asnjournals.org/content/11/8/1439.full. Student7 (talk) 12:36, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I just reorganized the article. Yes, lithium should be included. Feel free to make a note with these sources.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:50, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Lithium

message: I was confused about the best title for this article. I think that the title can remain "Metal toxicity", and that this should be the lead article in the category ":Category:Toxic effects of metals". This title comes from ICD-10 Chapter XIX: Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes code T56, "Toxic effect of metals".
I merged and redirected Metal poisoning to here, "Metal toxicity". Furthermore I redirected the categories :Category:Toxic metal poisoning, :Category:Metal poisoning, and :Category:Dietary mineral toxicity to :Category:Toxic effects of metals. See Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_June_11#Category:Toxic_metal_poisoning and Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_July_3#Category:Dietary_mineral_toxicity for related discussions.
I know that there is a difference between toxicity and poisoning, but for now, one article is best because there is not much content for the concepts.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:48, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article as written claims "Most often the definition of toxic metals includes at least cadmium, manganese, lead, mercury and the radioactive metals". While manganese is certainly somewhat toxic, (a) it is an essential trace mineral required in doses of ~2 mg/day; (b) it is less toxic than other metals such as copper and nickel that did not make it on the "Most often the definition of toxic metals includes..." list. Furthermore, I am fairly certain that the common definition of toxic/heavy metals includes thallium, given that it has a higher acute toxicity than cadmium, lead, and mercury.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.46.151.226 (talk) 13:50, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Manganese 

message: Hey everyone. I'm not a chemist or toxicologist but I am extremely fascinated by the toxic metals and have been doing my utmost to add citations and correct symptoms on metals that have been documented improperly. The only issue I've run into so far is that the subsection on magnesium references a John Couper, who I presume is a French scientist from the 1800s judging by the cited link, but Mssr. Couper does not have his own page, and I do not speak French so I can't comb the journal to find more relevant information. I assume he is the same John Couper from the Glasgow Society since it also references magnesium, but I'm not sure if there's a way I can verify this. Any suggestions on leads to follow for perhaps creating a page for Couper or would it be better to remove the reference to him 'discovering' magnesium toxicity entirely?

message: The section below was removed by me.  Radioactivity is the basis of the toxicity of radioactive elements, it seems
"Most often the definition of toxic metals includes at least thallium, cadmium, manganese, lead, mercury and the radioactive metals. Metalloids (arsenic, polonium) may be included in the definition. Radioactive metals have both radiological toxicity and chemical toxicity."
