Abstract: Heavy metals pollution is a worldwide problem in the environment and ecological system. Due to increasing urbanization of human society, unreasonable emission of the "three wastes" from industrial production and using all kinds of pesticide and fertilizer in modern agriculture, the content of heavy metals in soil is seriously the pollution. Especially, the research of the heavy metals cadmium, mercury, lead enrichment in organism body and and antibiosis has attracted more and more attention at the present. This review focuses on the heavy metal contamination and effects on organism in soil, as the above concluded, in the future it should provide the scientific basis for the comprehensive management and remediation on soil of heavy metal pollution.
