Heavy metals are present in our environment as they formed during the earth’s birth. There increased dispersal is a function of their usefulness during our growing dependence on industrial modification and manipulation of our environment. It has been recognized that heavy metals leads to environmental pollution and affect the quality of health of the human population. Heavy metals like Cu, Pb, As, Zn, Cd, Cr, Hg are a major group of pollutants that are disposed through industrial effluents, untreated wastewater, vehicular emission and sewage water. Toxic heavy metals enter the food chain through consumption of these vegetables resulting in biomagnifications and bioaccumulation. These heavy metals accumulate in different organs causing health hazards. The metals- Pb, Ni, Cr, Cd, Hg over the past few years have become a major concern as they interfere with reproduction in women, reducing fecundity. Extensive studies have shown the relation of Pb, Hg and Cd with increasing causes of infertility in women. Cd is a metalloestrogen, which cause endometriosis, endometrial cancer and spontaneous abortions. Increased levels of Pb can cause spontaneous abortion and also have teratogenic effect. Toxic levels of Hg effect the menstrual cycle and indirectly cause infertility. The environment in which women reside should be evaluated and there should be general awareness among women of the harmful effects of these metals. Steps should be taken to check the cause at its root and prevent pollution of our environment.
