Lead and cadmium emitted from various anthropogenic sources have the ability to accumulate in tissues of living organisms. The phenomenon of accumulation of metals in the body is harmful and undesirable. On the other hand, the ability of plants to accumulate heavy metals from the individual elements of the environment has been used in biomonitoring of pollution. Leaf and root of vegetables have particular predisposition for accumulating toxic metals such as lead and cadmium. Therefore can be use for the biomonitoring of environment mainly as a tool for assessing the extent of soil contamination. The article discusses literature information on the subject of:  entry paths of lead and cadmium into the body,  toxic effects of lead and cadmium on the human organism,  the use of vegetables as a tool in the biomonitoring of heavy metals in different elements of the environment.
