The chapter covers various issues related to heavy metals. Here we attempt to document the possible definitions for heavy metals. Heavy metals, the elements having density higher than 3.5 g/cm2 are being added at high rate to our close vicinity. These metals lead to serious problems related to ecology and mankind. Toxic effects of heavy metals are dependent on the concentration of metals, reactivity of metal species and duration of exposure. There is a need to address the toxicological and remedial aspects of heavy metals.

The biggest used electronic products recycling area in China has accelerated the economic development of the local area, however, it also has caused severe damage to the ecological environment, and posed great threat to the local residents, for which heavy metal pollution bears the most responsibility. Based on sampling of soil in researching area and principal component analysis, we found that the elements Ni, Cr, Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd were from man-made pollution sources, and that the elements As and Hg were not correlated with other elements, and were from independent pollution sources.

Germination And Growth

Heavy metal pollution is a major environmental stress than can affect plant growth. The toxic effects of nickel on germination and growth of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) seedling were investigated for 8 days. Growth of seedling parts especially radicle was greatly reduced for concentration at and above 50 mg/l
