The noxious influence of heavy metals as lead, zinc, copper and lead on higher plants and soil fungi was described. Addition to the soil of Levatit cation exchangers consisting of polystyrene porous resins, charged with calcium or manganese in granulated or powdered form, restored normal plant growth and inhibited the uptake of heavy metals ions
