Reducing exposure to harmful heavy metals in soils and water : LAP Lambert Academic Publishing : 9786202529068 : 6202529067 : 22 Apr 2020 : Heavy metals are the elements which have a high relative mass and a density at least 5 times greater than that of water. Their various using in the multiple applications such as industrial, domestic, agricultural, medicaland technological applications have led to their wide distribution within the environment; and also raising the concerns over their potential effects on human health and thus the environment. The contamination chain of heavy metals nearly always follows cyclic order within the environment as industry, atmosphere, soil, water, foods and human because it is obvious that chronic exposure to heavy metals and metalloids at low levels cause the adverse effects. Heavy metals are proved to be toxic to human and environmental health. Heavy metal toxicity is considered a major threat and there's several health risks related to it. Sometimes
