Contamination of Surface Waters by Heavy Metals in the Brno Region and the Assessment of Health Hazards
Original language description
Within the range of 2004 up to 2008 the occurrence of heavy metals, such as mercury, cadmium and lead, was monitored in the part of the Svratka River basin in the Brno area. Non-carcinogenic health risk assessment was carried out with regard to the character of monitored metals and their adverse effect on the human organism and the utilization of the river for recreational activities. To assess risk, exposure scenarios were developed which considered the exposure resulting from dermal contact with contaminated water during swimming or showering and the exposure to accidental ingestion of contaminated water during residential stays or holidays. At the same time, a proposal of measures was submitted. The measures will allow the reduction of contingent health hazards and will contribute to the protection of surface waters in the region against possible sources of contamination.
