Four brake pads with lead detected Lead is a typical harmful heavy metal that can damage the nervous system and cause headaches, abdominal pain and hearing impairment, and may lead to problems such as decreased intellectual development, loss of appetite, anemia and muscle weakness in children . The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IRAC) of the World Health Organization ( WHO) classifies lead as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B).
