heavy-metal-detection

2 articles

Heavy-metal detection in plant science involves identifying and measuring the uptake, accumulation, and distribution of toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic within plant tissues. Understanding how plants sense and respond to heavy-metal contamination is critical for studying phytoremediation — the use of plants to clean polluted soils — as well as for assessing the ecological impacts of industrial and agricultural pollution on plant health and biodiversity.
