Heavy metals neither are biodegradable materials nor are created. They occur naturally in earth crust and they reach in environment by the human activities (El-Kady & Abdel-Wahhab, 2018). Heavy metals are important elements for physiological and biological functions of plants, including biosynthesis of proteins, growth substances, nucleic acids, synthesis of chlorophyll and secondary metabolites(Latheef & Soundhirarajan, 2018), but the toxicity of heavy metals can reduce the plant growth and high level of the presence of these heavy metals are risk to human health (Khan et al., 2008). Present study is mainly focused on two heavy metals e.g. Mercury and Arsenic, and includes biotoxic effects on plants. Plant growth mechanism and biochemical activities are discussed along with eco approaches of remediation of heavy metals from soil are also presented in this paper e.g. vermiremediation and phytoremediation.
