2020-10-13 Lead (Pb) is the second most toxic metal on Earth and is toxic to humans and other living things. In plants, Pb commonly inhibits growth when it is at a concentration in the soil of 30 mg/kg or ...
Read MoreLead (Pb) has no biological functions in organisms including plants. Ever since the beginning of human civilization, however, plants have been exposed to a nearly exponentially increasing Pb emission closely linked with technological development. Pb ranks first among heavy metals with respect to tonnage produced and release into the environment.

Four 30-day old seedlings were grown hydroponically in each designated 15-mL cup containing the Pb treatments.

Different units, such as µg/dl, µg/l and µmol/l, are used, however, to characterize lead concentrations in blood. Multiplication by 0.048 gives the µg/dl equivalent in µmol/l.

Reduction in the number of beneficial soil microorganisms due to high metal concentration may lead to decrease in organic matter decomposition leading to a less fertility of soil. Enzyme activities are very much useful for plant metabolism, hampered due to heavy metal interference with activities of soil microorganisms. These toxic ...

Cadmium is taken up by plant roots, and is therefore the heavy metal of greatest concern in fertiliser programs.
