Heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic are environmental pollutants that accumulate in ecosystems pose significant health risks to humans wildlife, primarily through food chain contamination where plants absorb heavy metals, affecting their growth threatening consumer health. Cognitive cardiovascular functions particularly affected by exposure even at low concentrations the induction of oxidative stress. Various analytical techniques used measuring different biological samples. The atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) offers cost, simplicity, portability but lacks sensitivity for certain metals. Although more sensitive, high cost inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) may limit laboratory accessibility. with emission (ICP-AES) is known its broad dynamic linear range ability identify minute variations concentration. Atomic fluorescence (AFS) considered a powerful tool quantifying due sensitivity, detection limits, wide range. current article reviews metal pollution's impact on spectrometric these contaminants.
