Introduction:
Heavy metals are metallic elements that have a high density and are toxic or poisonous at low concentrations. These metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, can pose serious health risks to humans and the environment. Therefore, understanding the biochemical pathways of heavy metal detoxification is crucial in order to develop effective strategies for detoxifying these metals and reducing their harmful effects.

Thesis Overview on Biochemical Pathways of Heavy Metal Detoxification:
Heavy metals are toxic elements that can have detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Understanding the biochemical pathways of heavy metal detoxification is essential in developing effective strategies to mitigate their harmful effects. This thesis aims to explore the mechanisms by which organisms detoxify heavy metals, including the enzymes and cellular processes involved. Through a comprehensive literature review and experimental research, this study seeks to provide insights into the current state of knowledge on heavy metal detoxification and identify potential areas for future research. The findings of this thesis will contribute to the ongoing efforts to develop sustainable and efficient methods for detoxifying heavy metals and protecting human health and the environment.
