Abstract
Soil contamination by toxic metals is a major environmental problem. These pollutants, contained in anthropogenic wastes, cannot be biodegraded and accumulate in soils and transported to human through the consumption of contaminated aliments or smoking. Several recent researchers showed that these elements are able to generate many diseases as cancer and renal or kidney dysfunctions.
