raskmetall
  • metall, mille tihedus on 5 või rohkem
  • iga antimoni-, arseeni-, kaadmiumi-, kroom(VI)-, vase-, plii-, elavhõbeda-, nikli-, seleeni-, telluuri-, talliumi- ja tinaühend ning need materjalid metallilises vormis, juhul kui need on klassifitseeritud ohtlikeks aineteks
  • a metal whose specific gravity is approximately 5.0 or higher
  • any compound of antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium (VI), copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, tellurium, thallium and tin, as well as these materials in metallic form, as far as these are classified as hazardous substances
raskmetall
Usage examples
  • Raskmetallide plii, kaadmiumi, elavhõbeda ja kuuevalentse kroomi summaarne sisaldus pakendis ja pakendi koostisosades ei tohi ületada 100 milligrammi kilogrammi kohta.
raskemetall
Usage examples
  • Mikroprügi võib sisaldada ja absorbeerida ohtlikke aineid – nt raskemetalle (Zn, Cu, Hg ja Ni) ning püsivaid orgaanilisi saasteaineid (pestitsiidid DDT, PCB).
heavy metal
Usage examples
  • Incineration of heavy metals or materials with high metal content (in particular lead, mercury and cadmium) can lead to the spread of toxic metals in the environment.

  • metalliliste omadustega element, mille tihedus on suurem kui 5000 kg/m3
Good to know
  • Paljusid neist (nt As, Cd, Hg, Pb jt) seostatakse eelkõige keskkonna reostamise ja mürgisusega, nende heited keskkonda on seadustega reguleeritud. Mõned raskmetallid (nt Cu, Co, Mn, Cr) on inimestele väikestes kogustes vajalikud.
