Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy metals are severe environmental pollutants, and many of them are toxic even at very low concentrations. With industrial development, soil pollution with heavy metal elements have dramatically increased. The uptake of heavy metals via plants that are exposed to contaminated soils is a risk for human health and a major hazard for the ecosystem as a whole, including soil microorganisms. On the other hand, plants may be used in the decontamination of soils. The topics presented in this book include: sources of heavy metals contaminants in soils; plant species that can grow on contaminated soils; the phytoremediation of contaminated soils; tolerance, accumulation and detoxification mechanisms of zinc, copper, arsenic, cadmium and vanadium in plants; the critical role of sulfur metabolism in heavy metal tolerance; the role of aquatic macrophytes, plant growth-promoting bacteria, sugar crops and earthworms in detoxification; and heavy metal stabilization by promoting zeolite synthesis in soils.

Book excerpt: Depression, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, brain fog, weakness, it doesn't matter what your doctor calls it, it ALWAYS involves toxicity -- Dr. Sherry Rogers. Rest assured, this book contains everything you need to keep your health on track. Inside, we'll cover what heavy metals are, how they get inside us, and what you can do to remove them. When aluminum, mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and chromium are gently purged from the body, a stronger, clearer-thinking version of YOU comes to the surface. As an added bonus, detoxification helps protect against accelerated aging and sickness. In 1974 the World Health Organization reported that 82% of all chronic degenerative disease was caused by toxic metal poisoning! Since then, heavy metals have continued to find their way into our food, our water, and even the air we breathe! Secure your copy by clicking the button now!

Book excerpt: The term heavy metal refers to any metallic chemical element that has a relatively high density and is toxic or poisonous at low concentrations. Examples of heavy metals include mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), thallium (Tl), and lead (Pb).Heavy metals are natural components of the Earth's crust. They cannot be degraded or destroyed. To a small extent they enter our bodies via food, drinking water and air. As trace elements, some heavy metals (e.g. copper, selenium, zinc) are essential to maintain the metabolism of the human body. However, at higher concentrations they can lead to poisoning. Heavy metal poisoning could result, for instance, from drinking-water contamination (e.g. lead pipes), high ambient air concentrations near emission sources, or intake via the food chain.Heavy metals are dangerous because they tend to bioaccumulate. Bioaccumulation means an increase in the concentration of a chemical in a biological organism over time, compared to the chemical's concentration in the environment. Compounds accumulate in living things any time they are taken up and stored faster than they are broken down (metabolized) or excreted.Heavy metals can enter a water supply by industrial and consumer waste, or even from acidic rain breaking down soils and releasing heavy metals into streams, lakes, rivers, and groundwater.

Book excerpt: In recent years, heavy metals have been widely used in agricultural, chemical, domestic, and technological applications, causing environmental and soil contaminations. Heavy metals enter the plant system through soil or via the atmosphere, and can accumulate, affecting physiological processes, plant growth, yield, and human health if heavy metals are stored in edible tissues. Understanding the regulation mechanisms of plant heavy metals accumulation and partitioning is important to improve the safety of the food chain. In this Special Issue book, a total of 19 articles were included; four reviews covering phytoremediation, manganese phytotoxicity in plants, the effect of cadmium on plant development, the genetic characteristics of Cd accumulation, and the research status of genes and QTLs in rice, respectively, as well as fifteen original research articles, mainly regarding the impact of cadmium on plants. Cadmium was therefore the predominant topic of this Special Issue, increasing the attention of the research community on the negative impacts determined by cadmium or cadmium associated with other heavy metals. The articles have highlighted a great genetic variability, suggesting different possibilities for accumulation, translocation and the reduction or control of heavy metal toxicity in plants.

Book excerpt: Ever come across the expression “as mad as a hatter?” Heavy metal toxicity was so destructive in the 17th century that an expression was curved from the impact it had on individuals who were exposed to the poisonous process that was used to make hats. It was not until the 19th century that it was discovered that mercury poisoning was causing depression which resulted in insanity among hatters. If you suffer from degenerative health problems but you do not seem to get a long-lasting solution to those persistent symptoms even after maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, meditation, and everything else you need to be doing to stay healthy, you may be suffering from heavy metal poisoning. Our modern world is filled with toxins as a result of air pollution, environmental pollution, natural activities such as volcanic eruptions, and industrial chemicals released into our environment. One of the greatest threats to human health is exposure to heavy metal poisoning. Heavy metal poisoning refers to the accumulation of metallic elements with a density of 5 g cm-3 and above. There are thirty-eight (38) heavy metals including vanadium, lead, chromium, arsenic, zinc, cadmium, copper, nickel, and molybdenum. However, only four (4) of these metals, Lead, Arsenic, Mercury, and Cadmium are the main threats to human health. Unfortunately, these toxic metals often find their way into our bodies through breathing, ingestion, or absorption through our skin. Accumulation of these heavy metals in the human body can be harmful as these metals bind to human tissues, creating destructive free radicals that cause damage to the endocrine system, damage the immunity system and disrupt the absorption of vital minerals. Heavy metal poisoning, though quite common, often goes undetected as it is an elusive adversary that stays hidden within the human body till it has reached dangerous levels of bio-accumulation unless it is actively sorted out. The good news is that this guide will not only show you natural ways to detoxify the heavy metals accumulated in your body but will also help you prevent or minimize exposure. In this beginner’s quick start guide, you will discover...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollution and ways to combat it have become topics of great concern for researchers. One of the most important dimensions of this global crisis is wastewater, which can often become contaminated with heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, which are released from different industrial wastes, mines, and agricultural runoff. Bioremediation of such heavy metals has been extensively studied using different groups of bacteria, fungi, and algae, and has been considered as a safer, eco-friendly, and cost-effective option for mitigation of contaminated wasteland. The toxicity of water impacts all of society, and so it is of great importance that we understand the better, cleaner, and more efficient ways of treating water. Recent Advancements in Bioremediation of Metal Contaminants is a pivotal reference source that explores bioremediation of pollutants from industrial wastes and examines the role of diverse forms of microbes in bioremediation of wastewater. Covering a broad range of topics including microorganism tolerance, phytoremediation, and fungi, the role of different extremophiles and biofilms in bioremediation are also discussed. This book is ideally designed for environmentalists, engineers, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students in the fields of microbiology, toxicology, environmental chemistry, and soil and water science.
