1 de abr. de 2022 · Most heavy metals cause environmental and atmospheric pollution, and may be lethal to humans. Heavy metals can become strongly toxic by mixing with different environmental elements, such as water, soil, and air, and humans and other living organisms can be exposed to them through the food chain.
1 de sept. de 2020 · Heavy metals, such as copper, zinc, lead, cadmium and chromium, have been found in the soil of these agricultural lands at a high concentration [ 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 ]. Smelting causes localised pollution through atmospheric pollution, which then deposits on the soil.
15 de abr. de 2024 · Chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) are the main heavy metals.
1 de ene. de 2021 · Introduction. Toxicity caused by heavy metals (HMs) may spoil vegetables, which cannot be ignored as vegetables contribute a very important part of our dietary requirements. Nutrient contents of vegetables like fibers, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants contribute in combating the adverse effects of environmental stress ( Sharma et al., 2008).
Heavy metals are defined as metallic elements that have a relatively high density compared to water [ 1 ]. With the assumption that heaviness and toxicity are inter-related, heavy metals also include metalloids, such as arsenic, that are able to induce toxicity at low level of exposure [ 2 ].
15 de nov. de 2014 · The most commonly found heavy metals in waste water include arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc, all of which cause risks for human health and the environment (Lambert et al., 2000). Heavy metals enter the surroundings by natural means and through human activities.
