Abstract:The environment faces significant global health challenges due to the presence of heavy metals, with harmful substances being discharged into the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. This study focused on assessing the cytotoxic effects of heavy metals recovered from dumpsites on the meristematic tissue of root tips of Allium cepa L. Soil samples, collected from central dumpsites containing heavy metals, underwent standard procedures. The concentrations of heavy metals in the samples were determined us… Show more
