On the basis of their density, heavy metals are categorized as metals with relatively
high density. These include zinc, cadmium, copper, lead, etc. Heavy metals are
placed in the d-block of the periodic table. Rapid industrialization, mining, and land
use changes, including urbanization, have contributed to the widespread presence of
these elements on the surface (Habitat, 2004). Heavy metals persist in the soil sys tem for long durations due to their long half-life and stability (Jan et al., 2015) have
led to heavy metals are now a major environmental concern as well (Ayangbenro
and Babalola, 2017). Rai et al. (2019) have reviewed the impact of heavy metal
contamination on crop productivity. Heavy metal contamination of soil threatens
the food security and is a potential local and global issue (Gill et al., 2012; To´th
et al., 2016, Kaur et al., 2022). Moreover, the climate change scenario further
enhances the farming challenges already posed by heavy metals and other stresses
(Duchenne-Moutien and Neetoo, 2021). Due to these reasons, heavy metal-contaminated soils are a major focus of pollution assessment studies, which mea sure different indices such as index of geoaccumulation, enrichment factor, and contamination factor. Using the Allium cepa bioassay, arsenic and cobalt have been
identified as contaminants of concern in Punjab, India (Kumar et al., 2021).
