It is very difficult for heavy metals to be biodegraded. On the contrary, it can be enriched thousands of times and finally enter the human body under the biological amplification of the food chain. If heavy metals are contained in food or medicinal materials, the direct use will have a strong interaction between heavy metals and proteins and enzymes in the human body, making them lose inactivate. Heavy metals may also accumulate in some organs of the human body, resulting in chronic intoxication.
