It grows in abiotic stresses with reducing the productivity of crops. Plant samples on a size basis (<em>40cm</em>, <em>60cm,</em> and <em>80cm</em>) were collected at different lagoons of KTWMA, Kasur. The plant samples were further distributed and characterized into different parts (roots, stem, leaf, and seeds) to check the availability of metals. The outcome indicated that chromium and lead concentration was higher in parts of the plant, especially in the stem. Chromium metal in the stem of different sized plants (small, medium, and large) was 42.2507±0.0352, 45.3528±0.0375, and 58.4065±0.1624.At the same time, lead concentration was found18.0125±0.0014, 26.3505±0.0034, and 27.8352±0.0038 that isless than chromium. Zinc concentration was observed least but noticeable during the experiment. Fromtheexperiment, it was concluded that<em> S. fruticosa</em> might act as a hyperaccumulator for different metals, especially Cr and Pb. Future studies are needed in order to mobilize and remove hazardous trace metals to keep the environment healthy.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Sciences}, author={Ullah, Hafeez and hussain, Adnan and Meer, Asad and Abbas, Hasnain and Nazar, Aquib and shoukat, Adnan}, year={2022}, month={Oct.}, pages={13-17} }
