Abstract

The purpose of the study was to analyze the national and European legislation related to the pollution of marine ecosystems with various heavy metals. The subject of examination was regulatory documents that determine the maximum levels of certain heavy metals in hydrobionts and their environment. Summary analysis and historical review of Ordinance No. 5/2015 determining the maximum levels of certain contaminants in foods has been performed, as well as an analysis of Regulation 1881/2006 (EС) and Directive 2013/39/EU. Based on current research we could make the following conclusions: European legislation in this field has been fully implemented in national regulation act; values and maximum available concentration of heavy metals in marine water and inhabitants were presented in various documents, which make their interpretation complicated.
