title: [Toxicity of chemical elements].
abstract: A survey is presented of the most important facets of toxicity due to chemical elements as well as of the mechanisms through which it may be triggered. In particular, a detailed discussion is made on the characteristics shown by arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, barium and beryllium, with specific reference to the influence exerted by physiological, environmental and life-style factors.
