An overview of the biological impacts of heavy metals. Journal of environmental biology

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the biological impacts of heavy metals, including lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As), on various forms of life and ecosystems. Highlighting the mechanisms of toxicity, ecological consequences, and human health implications, the study underscores the urgency for innovative remediation strategies and stricter environmental regulations.
