Potentially Toxic Elements

Potentially Toxic Elements is a term in soil ecotoxicology referring to naturally occurring metallic and metalloid elements that, due to their persistence, bioaccumulative potential, and inherent toxicity, pose ecological risks to soil biota when exceeding threshold concentrations, thus distinguishing them from essential trace elements and benign soil constituents.
