Chelation therapy is a cornerstone in metal toxicology, offering agents for addressing the pervasive health risks associated with toxic metal exposure. Within environmental health and toxicology, chelation therapy uses chelating agents to combat the detrimental effects of toxic metals on human health. As the prevalence of toxic metal contamination continues to pose significant challenges worldwide, developing effective strategies for detoxification and mitigation becomes increasingly urgent. Chelation therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to remove toxic metals from the body, mitigating adverse health effects.

In alignment with CONEM’s mission to advance research and disseminate information to improve human and public health globally, the exploration of chelation therapy delves into mechanisms, applications, and potential impacts on enhancing health outcomes.
