Abstract

Boron (B) is a trace element and a micromineral; it is a metalloid having qualities intermediate between those of a metal and a nonmetal, and it is found in the environment in many forms such as borates, boric acid, boric oxide, and sodium, calcium, and magnesium salts (Kabu and Akosman, 2013).Boron has also been utilised in a variety of sectors, it is a micronutrient with diverse and vitally important roles in metabolism that render it necessary for plant, animal, and human health. Boron is an essential element at low quantities but may be hazardous to plants and animals at greater amounts (Goldbach et al., 2007). It is also required for the function of various biological processes such as cell structure and enzyme activities, but it becomes toxic when boron levels in the aquatic environment become excessive (Ball et al., 2012).This study summarizes the effect of Boron on plants and animals and also it's toxic effect and it's anti toxic properties
