“…The accumulation of heavy metals content in the roadside soil is of enormous environmental apprehension as it can cause alteration in the biological activities occurring in the soil system (Singh and Yadav, 2019). The diversity and activity of soil bacterial populations are diminished as a result of the environmental stress instigated by heavy metals, prompting a reduction in the total microbial biomass, a decline in the number of the explicit populace, and a shift in microbial structure (Abd et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2010). Anthropogenic activities, including automobile emissions and the industrial process, cause the raised load of heavy metals in the environment, thus creating pollution (Singh and Yadav, 2019).…”
