Influence factors in soil-fertilizer accumulation of heavy metals in plants

The problem of environmental pollution with heavy metals present in Poland locally and relates primarily to industrial areas, but in some areas, in the vicinity of the former or current sources of emissions, water, soil and sometimes show a considerable degree of contamination. Heavy metals in soils may be a potential source of danger to plants and groundwater, and consequently - can be incorporated into the food chain [Karczewska et al. 2008 Kabata-Pendias 1993]. Downloading trace elements from contaminated soils by plants often exceeds their physiological needs, with the result that an excess of these elements in the soil can act phytotoxic.
