Metal Availability and Bioconcentration in Plants

Heavy metals are natural elements that are found at various high background levels (Table 1.1) at different places throughout the world, due to various concentrations in the bedrock. Thus, for example, Ni, Cr and Co are abundant in serpentine soils whereas Zn, Pb and Cd are high in calamine soils. Heavy metals are persistent and cannot be deleted from the environment. Thus, a problem arises when their availability is high due to high background levels or to human activity.
