Abstract
Heavy metals are one of the most dangerous contaminants in the natural environment that
cause toxic effects in the cells of plants and animals. They are not decomposed in the environment
but consequently accumulated in the tissues of living organisms. Penetrating, for example, plants,
heavy metals can adversely affect the metabolic processes, which ultimately leads to a reduction in
yield and poses a threat of contamination by toxicants to the further food chain.
