About the Book: |
Metals and metalloids are ubiquitous environmental constituents and cannot be broken down to non-toxic forms by the biological system. Once the ecosystem is contaminated with them, they remain as a potential hazard to human health for many years. Heavy metals are particularly important in this respect. This book, which is a part of Man and Environment Series, discusses diverse issues relating to heavy metals and environmental and human health problems.
