  Lead Poisoning or Plumbism: Lead exposure can occur through contaminated air, water, soil, food, or products like lead-based paint. It can cause neurological damage, developmental delays in children, cognitive impairments, abdominal pain, anemia, and kidney damage. Mercury Poisoning or Minamata disease (caused by methylmercury exposure):  Mercury exposure can occur through contaminated seafood, dental fillings, or industrial sources. It can damage the nervous system, kidneys, and liver, leading to symptoms such as tremors, memory loss, irritability, and numbness. Arsenicosis or Arsenic Poisoning: Arsenic exposure can occur through contaminated drinking water, food, or industrial processes. It can cause skin lesions, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers (such as skin, lung, bladder), and neurological problems. Cadmium Poisoning: Itai-itai disease (caused by cadmium exposure), or cadmium toxicity occur due Cadmium exposure through contaminated food, water, or tobacco smok...

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that primarily affects the mesothelial cells lining the lungs, abdomen, or heart.  It is strongly associated with exposure to asbestos fibers, which are mineral fibers commonly used in construction materials, insulation, and other industrial applications. Inhalation or ingestion of asbestos fibers can lead to the development of mesothelioma, often several decades after exposure.

  It is also known as trisomy 21, is caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. This condition results from numerical abnormalities in the chromosomes, specifically an additional copy of chromosome 21, leading to developmental and intellectual disabilities, characteristic facial features, and various health issues. It is the most common chromosomal disorder and is associated with an extra chromosome in the pair 21, rather than the sex chromosomes.

 Electromagnetic spectrum in ascending order of wavelength along with approximate numerical values: Gamma rays: Wavelengths range from less than 0.01 nanometers to about 10 picometers (pm). X-rays : Wavelengths range from about 0.01 to 10 nanometers. UV (Ultraviolet) : Wavelengths range from about 10 to 400 nanometres. Visible: Wavelengths range from about 400 to 700 nanometers. Infrared : Wavelengths range from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter. Microwaves : Wavelengths range from about 1 millimeter to 1 meter. Radio and TV waves: Wavelengths are typically greater than 1 meter.
