Należy do „czarnej strefy“ metali ciężkich, której mianem określane są pierwiastki, w przypadku których nie wykazano żadnego pozytywnego działania, a wręcz przeciwnie – powodują wyłącznie rozwój patologicznych zjawisk zachodzących w ludzkim organizmie. Do „czarnej strefy” zaliczamy również ołów, rtęć czy arsen. Kadm występuje w śladowych ilościach jako naturalny składnik skorupy ziemskiej, jego zawartość wzrasta w wyniku aktywności wulkanów oraz wietrzenia termicznego skał i minerałów. W wyniku antropopresji, ekspozycja na kadm ulega wzrostowi. Pierwiastek ten powszechnie wykorzystywany jest w procesach technologicznych, w wielu gałęziach przemysłu i rolnictwie.

Stefanow, K. Pawlas","doi":"10.19243/2016301","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.19243/2016301","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction and objective: This paper is concerned with the harmful impact of nitric oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) on humans. The objective was to determine which source of emission is the most urgent in terms of its reduction.Abbreviated description of the state of knowledge: In published epidemiological studies multiple notifications indicating the harmful impact of particulate matter on human health can be found. The harmful impact is underscored by the increase in the number of hospitalisations owing to diseases of respiratory and cardio-vascular systems, as well as by the rise in general fatality rate. The analysis of the PM impact on the human body is prompted by the fact that its detrimental effects are not clearly defined. Additionally, nitric oxides contribute to the increased number of exacerbations of respiratory disease and are a factor increasing susceptibility to development of local inflammation. Conclusions: The following study is meant to show that the air pollution which derives from vehicles (NOx and PM) has a significant impact on human health. This applies particularly to residents of cities and big towns. This issue has gained special importance in Poland. According to the data from the Central Statistical Office, the increasing number of vehicles in use and their age lead to increased emission of the pollutants considered.","PeriodicalId":202712,"journal":{"name":"Medycyna Środowiskowa","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117265755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
