According to an IUPAC study, there are currently around 38 different definitions of the term heavy metal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>They are most frequently defined by their density.<\/strong> It is a heavy metal if the density is above 4.5 g\/cm<sup>3<\/sup>. This includes (among others) lead, cadmium, mercury, copper, iron and zinc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Health risk from heavy metal exposure<br><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all heavy metals are harmful. There are some that the body actually needs. These include iron, zinc and copper. As these substances are vital for the body, they are also called trace elements. However, not every trace element is a heavy metal, at this point the categories just overlap.<br>As with all substances, the dose determines the poison. Trace elements can also pose a health risk if they are ingested in high concentrations. Other <strong>heavy metals such as lead or mercury are toxic even in the smallest doses<\/strong>.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Absorption occurs (often unintentionally) orally (e.g. through food) or via the respiratory tract. The toxic effect of heavy metals depends on the metal in question. In many cases of poisoning, however, the ability to form complexes with proteins and their loss of function is symptomatic. The effects of heavy metal poisoning range from <strong>cardiac arrhythmia<\/strong> to <strong>kidney and\/or liver failure<\/strong> and depend on the agent. The body cannot break down these substances itself and so the therapy consists of administering chelating agents that bind the heavy metals into complexes and remove them from the body.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Occurrence of heavy metals<br><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The occurrence of heavy metals can have various causes. Some occur in <strong>nature<\/strong> or have entered nature through fertilizers or industrial influences. As an example, we will take a closer look at <strong>mercury<\/strong> here. Other heavy metals are subject to different, specific regulations and levels.<br>Mercury, for example, is often found in marine animals and can therefore be ingested through food (e.g. fish, mussels). However, the amount per fish is very low, so there is no acute risk. To further <strong>protect consumers<\/strong>, there are maximum levels for fish and fishery products to which traders are bound. With regard to environmental protection, the UNECE Convention, also known as the Aarhus Convention, was adopted in Aarhus on June 25, 1998. This convention &#8220;establishes important rights for the participation of citizens in environmental protection.&#8221;<br>In the past, mercury was frequently used in textile production, giving rise to the term &#8220;hatter&#8217;s syndrome&#8221;. This describes mercury poisoning caused by the use of mercury salts in felting. Typical symptoms of this <strong>poisoning<\/strong> are shaky hands and pathologically increased excitability. In this context, the English expression &#8220;mad as a <em>hatter<\/em>&#8221; and various literary figures, such as the famous hatter in <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em>, were coined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Heavy metals at the workplace<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, <strong>heavy metals are also<\/strong> present at <strong>the workplace<\/strong>, for example during <strong>welding work<\/strong>. <strong>Lead<\/strong> is often released during galvanic processes. The specific occupational safety measures depend on the respective heavy metal and must always be observed and, if necessary, optimized.
