Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The occurrence of heavy metals in the environment, even in traces, represents a severe risk for the ecosystems and can be dangerous to human health. However, a better understanding of the main aspects involved is still needed to reduce its negative impact on the environment and health. This book covers the recent methods used for the evaluation of heavy metal pollution and the identification of its sources, descriptions of some of the processes involved in its mobility and transport, attempts to address health and environmental effects of heavy metals pollution, and presents alternative technologies for its removal and remediation from environmental samples. Therefore, this book is recommended for experts in the comprehensive management of metal contamination in different environmental compartments.

Download or read book Trace Metals in the Environment written by Daisy Joseph and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-09-27 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High levels of toxic elements have harmful effects on all aspects of the environment (water, air, plants, etc.). Trace elements, many of which are heavy metals, can compromise soil quality, cause toxicity to plants, and ultimately contaminate the food chain. This book summarizes the effects of trace elements in the environment. Section 1 discusses the influence of trace elements on soil and the ecosystem and Section 2 examines the influence of trace elements on water. The book also discusses microplastics, which accumulate trace elements and pollute the oceans, harming both aquatic and human life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair form the waterway connecting channel from Lake Huron to the Detroit River then drains into Lake Erie. They provide water supply for millions of people, and critical habitat for maintaining biodiversity in the aquatic environment. Previous studies reported that the contamination level in St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair sediments exceeded the allowable limits, and designated the connecting channels as Areas of Concern. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the trace metal concentrations (Ag, As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Hg, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn) and physico-chemical properties (grain size, total solids, specific gravity, density, COD, volatile solids, and TOC) in the sediments of St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decades, there has been an extensive increase in the level of urbanization and industrialization along the Egyptian coastal area. At the same time, little data are available for the concentrations of trace metals along the Egyptian Mediterranean Coast. Studies on the environmental state of the Egyptian Mediterranean Coast have concentrated in the past mostly on simple chemical and bulk analysis of sediments. Most of the studies investigated metals in the total form and no comprehensive study was performed to investigate the most important metal bearing fractions in sediments and their mobility, bioavailability and thereby their toxicity. In addition, no data are available for the AVS/SEM as an important tool for evaluating metal toxicity in sediments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biogeochemistry of Trace Metals is a compendium of the most recent information available on the effects of trace metals in soil quality and its potential threat on the transfer of these contaminants to consumers. Most of the chapters in the book were presented as papers during the First International Conference on the Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements (formerly Metals in Soils, Plants, Waters, and Animals) held in Orlando, Florida in May, 1990. Topics discussed include background levels of metals in soils and/or plants (covering western Europe; temperate, humid Europe; and the People's Republic of China); metal cycling and transfer in the food chain in agroecosystems; uptake and accumulation of metals by bacteria, fungi, and invertebrates; mechanistic aspects of metals; the microbial aspects of soil selenium losses; and manganese sorption on soil constituents.

Download or read book Biogeochemistry of Trace Metals written by D. C. Adriano and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-06-16 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the papers were presented during the First International Conference on the Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements (formerly Metals in Soils, Plants, Waters and Animals) held in Orlando, Florida in May of 1990. There are two chapters on background levels of metals in soils and/or plants--one for western Europe and one for the temperate, humid zone of Europe; six chapters are devoted to the metal cycling and transfer in the food chain in agroecosystems; two chapters are devoted to uptake and accumulation of metals by bacteria, fungi and invertebrate animals; two chapters are devoted to mechanistic aspects of metals--one on metal tolerance in plants, the other on metal-humic substance complexes; and two special papers are on the microbial aspects of soil selenium losses and manganese sorption on soil constituents. The book should be especially interesting to researchers and practitioners in the field. One other beneficial aspect of the book is its international coverage and how various special cases from the application of municipal sewage sludge onto land with respect to cadmium transfer in the food chain are highlighted. Guidelines in soil levels and diets for cadmium and other metals are also discussed.
Download or read book Trace Elements in the Terrestrial Environment written by Domy C. Adriano and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I intend to fill, with this book, a need that has long been felt by students and professionals in many areas of agricultural, biological, natural, and environmental sciences-the need for a comprehensive reference book on many important aspects of trace elements in the "land" environment. This book is different from other books on trace elements (also commonly referred to as heavy metals) in that each chapter focuses on a particular element, which in tum is discussed in terms of its importance in our economy, its natural occurrence, its fate and behavior in the soil-plant system, its requirement by and detriment to plants, its health limits in drinking water and food, and its origin in the environment. Because of long distance transport to pristine areas of cadmium, lead, copper, and zinc in relatively large quantities, these elements have an extra section on natural ecosystems. A blend of pictorial and tabular data are provided to enhance understanding of the relevant information being conveyed. Since individual chapters are independent of one another, they are arranged alphabetically. However, readers with weak backgrounds in soil science are advised to start with the chapter on zinc, since soil terminology is discussed in more detail here. Sections on sorption, forms and speciation, complexation, and transformations become more technical as soil physical-(bio )chemical phenomena are discussed. The less important "environmental" trace elements are discussed together in the "Other Trace Elements" chapter.
