Sep 1, 2020 · Heavy metal pollution has emerged due to anthropogenic activity which is the prime cause of pollution, primarily due to mining the metal, smelting, foundries, and other industries that are metal-based, leaching of metals from different sources such as landfills, waste dumps, excretion, livestock and chicken manure, runoffs, automobiles and ...
Jan 1, 2011 · In heavy metals, pollution abatement, microbial sensors, and transformations are getting increased focus because of high efficiency and cost effectiveness. The sources and impacts of heavy metal pollution as well as various remediation techniques are described. Download chapter PDF.
Apr 1, 2022 · Most heavy metals cause environmental and atmospheric pollution, and may be lethal to humans. Heavy metals can become strongly toxic by mixing with different environmental elements, such as water, soil, and air, and humans and other living organisms can be exposed to them through the food chain.
Oct 5, 2023 · This review focuses on the origins of heavy metal pollution, delves into cost-effective and green technological approaches for eliminating heavy metal pollutants from the environment, and discusses the impact of these pollutants on human health.
Mar 19, 2021 · Anthropogenic activities are identified as the main source of the increasing amounts of heavy metals found in aquatic environments. Some of the health hazards derived from repeated exposure to traces of heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, are outlined.
May 30, 2019 · Heavy metal pollution is a great concern for the environment and human health, especially in developing countries like India. Owing to their toxic, non-degradable and bio-accumulative nature, health burden on the population has increased significantly.
Mar 16, 2020 · Heavy metals, metallic elements with relatively high density and high toxicity, are increasingly been released into the environment as a result of anthropogenic activities such as agriculture,...
Contamination of the environment by toxic heavy metals is a particularly widespread problem with pollution sources due mainly to industrial activities. These heavy metals are discharged, directly or indirectly, into environmental waters, especially in developing countries.
Jan 13, 2022 · Heavy metals are persistent and bio-accumulative, and pose potential risk to human health and ecosystem. We reviewed the current state of heavy metal contamination, the ecotoxicological and human health risk of heavy metals reported in urban road dust from various cities in different continents (Asia, Europe, Africa, America, and Australia).
