Nowadays direct human exposure to heavy metals in many different forms. Heavy metal has come into the human body and other living organisms through the food chain. Humans long-term exposure to toxic metals in the environment with different dosages. Professor Jerome Nriagu University of Michigan said: "More than 1 billion people into real laboratory animals when exposed to these toxic metals with high content in the environment". According to this author, many millions of people with botulism outbreaks metal below. As we will see below, the majority of those infected in the developing countries, the former Soviet Union and Central Europe, but there are many urban areas of developing countries has become heavily contaminated by metals. The increasingly widespread contamination, especially if the emissions continue under the current level, we could hardly expect this growth can be reduced when. In a study of the number of metal discharged globally, confirms that it increased in the third world, perhaps due to the most polluting industry was exported to countries in the South and reducing in countries industry, so people and other organisms are exposed to high levels of metals than that they still live. " In this respect, mercury, chromium, cadmium, lead among the most toxic heavy metals, then to Council.
Of course, if we eliminate the most toxic metal or metals without any useful benefit for the person we know as Lead, Cadmium is here, too, "was created toxic dose", as mentioned Paracelse medieval. In a normal diet, people consume between 2 and 5 mg of copper per day. This is lower than the number of born anemia and in particular the case of children, there have psychomotor delay, but if doses higher than 15 mg / day, the vomiting and pain symptoms abdominal appearance and in severe cases can progress to coma and death.
metals, alloys and metal compounds needed for science and modern technology, even though today, replacing it with the right organic matter in a number of important applications (optical fiber and the organic semiconductor) is no longer the exception. Very rare to see a metal without a certain application. Civilization and economy of the country since ancient times are based at least in part on the metal. For modern life, it is always necessary to metals, plastics although now replacing metal in some applications. However much it may be necessary to the metal catalyst to expedite the process of forming polymerisation catalysts deo.Nhung substances once used before being discharged into the environment. Our metals can cause terrible devastating effects unpredictable: Minamata disease is not derived from mercury catalysts of polymerisation reaction or what? The truth is inevitably an industrial process to create metal waste for the environment became a landfill.
Plague's insidious and dangerous cases of heavy metal poisoning even more critical due to the metal heavy type obviously is not biodegradable and persistent element in the human living environment and animals. In fact, they exist forever if we compare our lifetime to the longevity of creatures (we do not discuss the effects of radiation). In normal conditions, it is impossible to change and destroy them. However, under the impact of a number of bacteria, which can combine with organic compounds to form toxic substances capable of creeping into the food circuit and goes into the human body as in the case of methyl mercury in Minamta. It is thought that the toxicity caused by heavy metals all were discharged annually into the biosphere far ahead of all hazardous wastes and radioactive organic.
