Finally, herbal products imported from China may be contaminated with pesticides or with heavy metals added during the manufacturing process. Contaminated Chinese herbals have led to cases of arsenic, lead, mercury, thallium, and cadmium poisoning. Similarly, investigations of traditional Indian Ayurvedic remedies have shown them to sometimes contain dangerous levels of lead, zinc, mercury, arsenic, aluminum, and tin. 

Many nonessential trace elements are found in the body. Depending on the local environment, at least 43 elements are normally incorporated into developing teeth another 25 elements are seen less frequently. The rest, notably the heavy metals, have never been detected in teeth. Many trace elements, particularly the heavy metals, are considered when testing for metal poisoning. Many plants concentrate essential and nonessential elements from soil and water, including aluminum (several species of subtropical plants), selenium (many plants), strontium (mesquite beans), and lithium (wolfberries, used by Native Americans in the southwestern United States for jam). Ingestion of these plants can cause toxicity for the element involved.
