Těžké kovy

Emory River Tennessee: 7,6 metrů vysoká vrstva popela kontaminovaná těžkými kovy, které se dostaly do životního prostředí z místní uhelné elektrárny v prosinci 2008. Testy ukázaly zvýšené množství arsenu, mědi, barya, kadmia, chromu, olova, rtuti, niklu a thallia. Náklady na vyčištění byly odhadnuty na 1,2 miliardy dolarů[1]

Těžký kov je jakýkoliv kov či polokov, který představuje hrozbu pro životní prostředí. Termín vznikl s odkazem na škodlivé účinky kadmia, rtuti a olova, jejichž společným rysem byla vyšší hustota než železo. Dnes se však používá i pro další podobně toxické kovy či polokovy, jako je arsen[2] bez ohledu na jejich hustotu.[3][4] Často uváděnými těžkými kovy jsou chrom, kobalt, nikl, měď, zinek, arsen, selen, stříbro, antimon, rtuť, thalium a olovo. Byly navrženy i přesnější definice těžkých kovů, žádné se však nedočkaly výraznějšího uznání.[5]

Zdravotní riziko

Některé těžké kovy (měď, zinek) mohou být pro lidské tělo nezbytné a prospěšné,[6] ve větším množství však poškozují zdraví. Jsou schopné vázat látky, z nichž se skládají těla živých organismů – strukturní bílkoviny, enzymy či nukleové kyseliny – a ovlivňovat jejich funkčnost.[7] Příznaky se liší podle druhu těžkého kovu a dávky, která se do těla dostala. Obecně řečeno, dlouhodobé vystavení těžkým kovům může mít karcinogenní účinky či poškozovat nervovou a oběhovou soustavu.
