The metals having density more than 5 are usually known as heavy metals. Density of some heavy metals is as below: Zinc (Zn) 7.13 Iron (Fe) 7.87 Copper (Cu) 8.96 Silver (Ag) 10.49 Lead (Pb) 11.36 Mercury (Hg) 13.55 We use fertilizers which contain elements having density more 5 or more than 5 like zinc sulphate or copper sulphate ets. so we can say that plants take these heavy metals in shape of fertilizers.

How do discarded batteries affect humans and the environment?
In landfills, heavy metals have the potential and the ability to slowly leach into the soil, groundwater or surface water. Dry cell batteries contribute about 88 percent of the total mercury and 50 percent of the cadmium in the municipal solid waste stream. When burned, some heavy metals such as mercury may vaporize and escape into the air, and cadmium and lead may end up in the ash.

Why is silver heavy?
Certain groups of people try to classify silver as a heavy metal such as cadmium and mercury, in order to promote fear mongering regarding the use of silver in medicine. The term "heavy metals" is both meaningless and misleading. Just about anything can be toxic if used abusively. In truth, silver, gold, copper and platinum are noble metals, not "heavy metals" like mercury, plutonium or lead. If you look it up in the Wikipedia encyclopedia, it is not found in the list of heavy metals.
What health problems may arise from this metal water pollution?
Heavy metals tend to accumulate in our body tissues, building toxicity over time.In our case, heavy metals in fresh water get absorbed by tiny organisms that in turn get consumed by larger ones up to fish, which we then catch and eat. The effects are not immediate, but since heavy metals don't tend to be removed from our bodies, they build up. The more contaminated foods we eat, the more the metals build up until they reach toxic levels.
