Download or read book Heavy Metal Contamination of Water and Soil written by Elham Asrari and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-02-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Although adverse health effects of heavy metals have been known for a long time, exposure to heavy metals continues and is even increasing in some areas. Remediating heavy metal contaminated soils and water is necessary to reduce the associated health and ecological risks, make the land resource available for agricultural production, enhance food security, and scale down land tenure problems. This book discusses the causes and the environmental impact of heavy metal contamination. It then explores many exciting new methods of analysis and decontamination currently studied and applied in the field today.
