My project deals with the effect of heavy metal pollution on soils close to industrial sites and its additional effect on plant density in these areas. This type of research is of great importance due to the fact that there has been an increased incidence of pollution due to poor waste management practices and heavy industrial processes that have led to the contamination of the surrounding soil which is harmful to the surrounding vegetation. My research is centered primarily on the growth tendencies of the nodding onion plant with relation to the effect of heavy metal pollution of the soil. Three keywords with relation to my project are heavy metals, nodding onion, soil.
