From the Paper:

"Heavy metals are one of the most common environment pollutants. They come from a wide range of sources. For example, in a recent study of heavy metal contamination in Sydney, R. Snowdon and G.F. Birch note, Soils across the entire Iron Cove catchment are enriched in Cu, Pb, and Zn, but are substantially elevated in the north-east part of area, probably due to the location of old houses, past industry, and the convergence of major roads and railway lines (Snowdon and Birch 336). From this statement it seems that heavy metals are released into the environment from a number of human activities."
