Heavy metals are common pollutants in the soil environment distributed naturally by both geologic and biologic cycles, poses a threat to environment and food security due to the fast growth of industry and agriculture, and the disruption of natural ecosystems by anthropogenic activities linked to the growth of human populations. Extensive use and combustion of fossil fuels, mining and processing wastes are the other sources responsible for extreme emission of these elements into the soil environment. Heavy metals soil contamination persist long-term in soil and causes hazardous health effects in living organisms including humans if enter into food chain. In this paper, contamination of soil by heavy metals and their toxic effect on human well being has been discussed.
