    We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a Lipschitz map f:RE→Xf:\mathbb{R}E\to X, into a metric space to have the image with the kk-dimensional Hausdorff measure equal zero, Hk(f(E))=0H^k(f(E))=0. An interesting feature of our approach is that despite the fact that we are dealing with arbitrary metric spaces, we employ a variant of the classical implicit function theorem. Applications include pure unrectifiability of the Heisenberg groups and that of more general Carnot-Carath\'eodory spaces
