“…Additionally, student performance was correlated with foul and violent conduct. Strong performers have lower grades (50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60) which are significantly correlated with lower concentrations of Pb in their urine. Further, this research demonstrates that academic achievement can be predicted by quantitative physiological indicators and observable behaviors.…”

“…Headache, depression, memory loss, palpitations, fatigue, and hair loss are symptoms of organic mercury toxicity. Identification of these symptoms may present a difficulty owing to their concomitant presentation with other disorders (55). Manganese, an essential element, is involved in numerous bodily physiological processes.…”

Background: neural toxicity can be mediated by several agents including the accumulation of heavy metal. Neural toxicity could cause deviating behaviors and violent actions. Study objectives: the main objectives of the present study were to review the literature regarding the impacts of neural toxicity on deviating behaviors and violent actions and to explore the impacts of heavy metals including lead (pb) on violent actions. Methodology: literature was reviewed for articles involved in the neural toxicity and their impacts on deviating behaviors such as violence. Articles were studied and summarized to extract the appropriate information, this helped in making up the current study. Results: reviewed literature showed that exposure to heavy metals is associated with violent behaviors and deviating actions. Previous studies indicated that prisoners had higher levels of lead (pb) compared with their counter controls. It was also shown that schoolchildren who had poor academic achievement and committed to violent actions has higher levels of lead (pb). Conclusions: violent actions and deviating behaviors have their environmental origin such as exposure to heavy metals.assessment of heavy metals may be a future indicator to evaluate persons with violent attitudes

“…Eexposure to high level of metallic Hg may result in skin rashes, nausea, lung damage and increasing the blood pressure. The toxicity signs of organic Hg are depression, tremors, headache, and fatigue ( Atti et al, 2020 ). Stomach discomfort, hypertension, Headaches, insomnia, fatigue and dizziness are symptoms of Pb exposure ( Guzzi et al, 2021 ).…”
