Heavy metals are a menace to the human world. Though in controlled amount these heavy metals do have some importance in human metabolic activity but if they cross permissible level they become a danger to the human race. Leadamong heavy metals poses more danger because of it’s varied sources and often with long exposure with a minimal amount lead causes severe damage. Most of the detection methods of lead are costly, not easily available for common people, sooften lead gets undetected hence becomes a bigger danger.Once detected it’s remediation is also important. Physical and chemical methods of remediation is again costly and not environment friendly ,bioremediation is environment friendly but this method too has it’s short comings often cannot be used to remove larger percentage of lead and in human body this has not been tried out as yet as a therapeutic technique.
