Due to their toxicity at certain concentrations, capacity to move through food chains, and inability to biodegrade, heavy metals have a significant ecological impact on the environment and accumulate in the biosphere . The health of the ecosystem and a high-quality food supply depend on healthy soil , gets polluted with heavy metals from household, commercial, or municipal garbage; plants then absorb these metals through their foliar or roots. Certain metals, particularly As, Cd, Hg, and Pb, can build up in different plant components and pose a concern to humans, animals, and plants . Dumpsites are a contributing factor to heavy metal pollution in soil, including As, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb, Ni, and Zn .
