Management of toxic metals is important for various reasons. Many metals have a long soil half-life, which means that their toxicity stays active for a long time. It also means that there is potential for cumulative effects of the metals if they are buried or dumped in the same site in quantity or over time. As some metals have been proven to have detrimental impacts on animal and human health, it is imperative that they are disposed of in such a way to impose minimum risk.
