Chelation treatment is a medical procedure used to remove heavy metals from the bloodstream. It is used to treat conditions such as lead poisoning, mercury poisoning, and other cases in which a heavy metal has built up to a toxic level in the body. Chelation treatment originally was developed after World War I to treat exposure to arsenic-based poison gases used in combat. After World War II, additional chelation methods were developed to treat lead poisoning.
