What are Heavy Metals?
Toxic metals, including “heavy metals,” are individual metals or metal compounds that negatively affect people’s health by exposure over time and become a significant health hazard.
Heavy metals are pollutants that can enter the water system through groundwater. Arsenic, cadmium and lead are just a few of the heavy metals in the environment. Heavy metal pollution can be caused by any manufacturing process especially pesticide and fertilizer production.
