ABSTRACT
As a result of civilization development, more and more toxic compounds, including
trace elements, are accumulated in the aquatic environment. They are often difficult to
remove during routine treatment methods. The literature analysis shows that the problem of the presence of these elements in surface waters as well as in drinking water is
still valid and occurs in many regions of Europe. Water law is based on EU directives
and national regulations limiting the maximum permissible content of these pollutants
in drinking water. Water contamination with trace elements is one of the most important threats to human health. Trace elements can cause immediate acute poisoning or
chronic conditions.
