Abstract
Especially in high concentrations, heavy metal are potential toxic substances in the environment with untoward impacts on fauna and flora. The metal toxicity is enhanced by chemical associations. The immediate and remote concerns for sustainable growth and development are the identification, control and management of factors which affect plants and soils with concomitant hunger, quality food deprivation, impairment of health in humans and animals. It becomes of major concern for opportunities to create sustainable mechanisms or modalities to eradicate the sources of the issues and challenges.
