Plant toxicity by heavy metals

This work examines the toxicity of heavy metals on medicinal and health plants. The results demonstrate the sensitivity of these plants to metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, copper and chromium, which can lead to excessive accumulation and compromise their therapeutic quality. Preventative measures and early detection of soil and water contamination are essential to ensure their safety. In addition, it is crucial to develop detoxification strategies and promote herbal medicine to treat these contaminated plants. Strict regulations limiting heavy metal emissions and regular monitoring are necessary to maintain the quality of medicinal plants. In conclusion, a proactive approach is essential to ensure their therapeutic effectiveness and preserve their sustainability.
