Heavy metals are hazardous because they can cause adverse biological effects on an organism’s activity, growth, metabolism, reproduction or survival. Three of the most toxic heavy metals are mercury, cadmium and lead. Total inputs of mercury, cadmium and lead to the Greater North Sea have reduced, since 1990. However, improved analytical procedures for mercury and cadmium since 1990 make it difficult to be certain what proportion of observed changes are due to reduced discharges and emissions.
