Metals and metalloids • Classification of metals according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States ): • Potentially hazardous metals: • Barium • Cadmium • Copper • Lead • Manganese • Nickel • Zinc • Vanadium • Tin Need to be monitored © IAH 2007 22 Other metals are accordingly to the EPA to be monitored with care as they also create health risks. Some of them are even needed as trace elements for good body functioning but are toxic in elevated concentrations. Zinc and copper for example are essential for certain physiological processes and symptoms are related to a lack of them. To high levels on the other side will also cause problems so it is again a question of homeostasis. 22
Metals and metalloids • Toxicity of metals according to dose level and time of exposure • In cases of acute exposure • Through drinking water, foodstuffs or occupational exposure • Symptoms: acute gastrointestinal syndrome, renal impairment, neurotoxicity, etc. © IAH 2007 23 Dose level and time are the main parameters for the toxicity of a substance. Of course an acute exposure to a high level has on short term more risks as a lethal level might get reached. Metals and metalloids are in soil, water and air and therefore drinking water, exposure in open air and even food (over the food chain from lower to higher level) might be a risk. Main symptoms for metal or metalloid intoxications are gastrointestinal syndrome, renal impairment till failure, neurotoxicicy, liver damage, respiratory complaints etc… 23
