A member asked:
Why is edta often used to treat lead poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Binds lead: EDTA binds lead and removes it from the body. This is accomplished by a process called chelation whereby the EDTA forms a number of bonds with a lead or other metal atom, carrying it out of the body as the EDTA is excreted.
