Abstract

While some heavy metals are essential trace components, many are bio toxic in human biochemistry. As a result, a full grasp of underlying systems is required. For supporting life and minimizing environmental damage, we must grasp their sources, liquidation techniques, chemical modifications, and deposition patterns These metals are discharged into the environment by both natural and human activity, including mining, industrial operations, and vehicular emissions. Soils and groundwater are contaminated when they leak into subsurface fluids and eventually into the aquifer. The world's commerce and coordinating systems frequently generate environmental toxicity and poisoning. Swallowed, they generate bio toxic compounds, lose structural integrity, and block bio reactions. This study's goal is to learn more about heavy metals and their bio toxic effects on humans.
