The Contamination of Plants and Soils with Heavy Metals and the Transport of Metals in Terrestrial Food Chains

The most important sources of heavy metal contamination in their order of significance are air pollution, river sediments, sewage sludges, town waste composts, agricultural chemicals, and industrial waste.
