Heavy metals are among the most important sources of contamination in soil, and are considered among the most dangerous matters due to their toxicity, persistence, and resistance to biological degradation. They may cause serious health problems for many forms of life. Heavy metals exhibit toxic effects towards soil biota by affecting key microbial processes and decreasing the number and activity of soil microorganisms. Crops grown on contaminated soils can potentially lead to the uptake and accumulation of trace metals in the edible plant parts. The uptake of heavy metals by plants and their subsequent accumulation along the food chain pose potential threats to animal and human health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
