Polish data of lead and cadmium concentrations in such environmental compartments as: air, dust, soil, diet and drinking water were presented in the paper. Special emphasis was placed to the Upper Silesian industrial Region, the central part of the Katowice Province, the most polluted area in Poland. An attempt was made to assess human exposure to heavy metals. According to the available data it can be concluded that the WHO tolerable intake (ADI, PTWI) could be exceeded in an extremely disadvantageous situation occurring in the Katowice Province. Furthermore, a critical review of heavy metal standards in soil, dustfall and edible plants, obligatory in Poland, was presented. The author states that there are still some inconsistencies in current regulations in Poland. In order to remove them, an interdisciplinary board consisting of such disciplines representatives as: medicine, toxicology, nutritional science, law and protection of soils used for agricultural purposes should be appointed.
本文展示了波兰在空气、灰尘、土壤、饮食和饮用水等环境介质中铅和镉浓度的数据。特别强调了上西里西亚工业区，即卡托维兹省的中部地区，这是波兰污染最严重的地区。文中尝试评估了人类对重金属的暴露情况。根据现有数据可以得出结论，在卡托维兹省出现的极端不利情况下，可能会超过世界卫生组织的可耐受摄入量（每日允许摄入量、暂定每周耐受摄入量）。此外，还对波兰土壤、降尘和可食用植物中重金属标准进行了批判性综述。作者指出，波兰现行法规仍存在一些不一致之处。为了消除这些不一致，应任命一个跨学科委员会，其成员包括医学、毒理学、营养科学、法律以及农业土壤保护等学科的代表。
