Heavy metals uptake by the global economic crop (Pisum sativum L.) grown in contaminated soils and its associated health risks.

The aim of the present investigation was to determine the concentration of heavy metals in the different organs of Pisum sativum L. (garden pea) grown in contaminated soils in comparison to nonpolluted soils in the South Cairo and Giza provinces, Egypt, and their effect on consumers' health. To...
