I'm looking to study soils that likely have a high inflow of heavy metals. However, how do I determine whether the concentration of metals present in these soils are beyond permissible limits. I could get EPA and European Union guidelines but none for the Indian subcontinent. Does anyone know of any standards that exist for it in India or Asia in general?
I do not know if your country have standard level for metals in the environment agency if not please sea the European Union or Environment Canada level for metals

It is a well-known troublemaker in agriculture irrigation either from SWRO or from Wastewater treatment.
