A much-discussed topic is the contamination of soils with heavy metals, as these negatively affect soil fertility, quality, and functionality due to their potential toxicity. Heavy metals accumulate in the soil because of its high, but not unlimited, retention capacity. Heavy metals directly endanger soil organisms and plants through the soil, and indirectly endanger animals and humans through plant-based food and feed.
