Environmental contamination with heavy metals has turned to a worldwide problem due to the fast growing of industrialization and urbanization
Heavy metals are a serious threat to the environment and to all living beings, including humans, since all metallic ions are inert to chemical and biological degradation and can be transferred through the trophic chain [2]
