Enrichment of the Intergalactic Medium (IGM) with heavy elements is commonly explained by expelling of matter with enhanced (as compared with the IGM) abundance of metals from galaxies. At a small scale regions of high- metallicity (practically with that of the initial value) do exist. Observations of of metal enriched regions in the "post-reionized" Universe (z < 5) show that the feature of metal distribution inhomogeneity has the features that are typical for the mixing with saturated instabilities. Such an inhomogeneity in metal distribution can result in erroneous estimates of the mass (density) of baryons in the "warm-hot" phase of the IGM. Possible interrelation between the features of the spatial distribution of metals and the mass of missing baryons are discussed. The important role of UV observations, particularly those ones with the help of WSO-UV observatory for detecting the missing baryons is stressed.
