Abstract
This research is based on the study of boiler water with a high content of waste inside boilers. After many years of use, a very toxic lime scale (LS) is formed in the boiler mixed with heavy elements, ions, and other molecules dangerous for human health. The high concentration of some heavy metals in domestic boilers is a problem in itself. During our study we created laboratory proof that inside domestic boilers contain extremely high concentrations of some heavy carcinogenic metals. Domestic boilers should have a simple system for cleaning the waste in the boiler that in our research contains heavy metals that can create profoundly serious problems in a person with normal metabolism. The chemical parameters analysed in the domestic boilers are: Cu (0.002-3.08) mg/L, Fe (0.001-0.97) mg/L, Cr+6 (0-0.31) mg/L, Al+3 (0.001-0.8<) mg/L, Ca+2 (56-200<) mg/dm3, Cl− (12.3-45) mg/L, Cl2 (0-2.2) mg/L, PO4−3 (0.04-1.3) mg/L, NO2-N (0.0006-2.9) mg/L, NH3-N (0.001-0.5) mg/L. The high presence of heavy metals in water has recently been causing serious problems. Scientific research in the field of environmental toxicology has given us more and more answers to the questions of where many human health problems can come.

Abstract
Bu araştırma kazanlardaki atık içeriği yüksek olan kazan suyunun incelenmesine dayanmaktadır. Uzun yıllar kullanımının ardından, kazan içinde ağır elementler, iyonlar ve insan sağlığı için tehlikeli diğer moleküllerle karışmış olarak oldukça toksik kireç pulu oluşmaktadır. Ev tipi kazanlarda bazı ağır metallerin yüksek konsantrasyonda bulunması başlı başına bir sorundur. Çalışmamız kapsamında, ev tipi kazanların son derece yüksek konsantrasyonlarda birtakım ağır kanserojen metaller içerdiğine dair laboratuvar bulgularını ortaya koyduk. Ev tipi kazanlar, kazandaki atıkları temizlemek için basit bir sisteme sahip olmalıdır; bu kazanlar, araştırmamıza göre, normal metabolizmaya sahip bir kişide çok ciddi sorunlar yaratabilecek ağır metaller içermektedir. Ev tipi kazanlarda analiz edilen kimyasal parametreler şunlardır: Cu (0,002-3,08) mg/L, Fe (0,001-0,97) mg/L, Cr+6 (0-0,31) mg/L, Al+3 (0,001-0,8<) mg/L, Ca+2 (56-200<) mg/dm3, Cl− (12,3-45) mg/L, Cl2 (0-2,2) mg/L, PO4−3 (0,041,3) mg/L, NO2-N (0,0006-2,9) mg/L, NH3-N (0,001-0,5) mg/L. Suda yüksek miktardaki ağır metal mevcudiyeti son yıllarda ciddi sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Çevresel toksikoloji alanındaki bilimsel araştırmalar, birçok insan sağlığı sorununun nereden gelebileceğine dair sorulara giderek daha fazla yanıt verebilmektedir.
