Abstract

Most of the heavy metals, pesticides, and pollutants of other types are known for their affinity toward biological tissue where they get accumulated. Once the metal gets absorbed in the biological system, the metal ions cause damage to the cells and tissues. It is dependent upon concentration of their toxic properties.
