CONT

Les ions métalliques qui se retrouvent dans l'eau peuvent avoir des conséquences sur la santé humaine. En Suède, des cas de diarrhée seraient dues à l'ingestion d'eau acide ayant une forte concentration en Cu++. De plus, les poissons peuvent concentrer les ions mercure et leur consommation pourrait, de ce fait, être dangereuse.
