Lead Toxicity Mitigation Sustainable Nexus Approaches Nitish Kumaramrit Kumar Jha by Nitish Kumaramrit Kumar Jha instant download after payment.

Lead is highly persistent in the environment, and because of its continuous use, its levels rise in almost every country, posing serious threats. Lead toxicity is an important environmental issue. One of the most deadly heavy metals, lead, plays no part in biological systems. All living creatures may be adversely affected by its traces in the air, soil, water, and biological systems, and its bioaccumulation in the food chain is especially dangerous for the health of people and animals. In trace amounts, lead is a bluish-gray metal that occurs naturally in the earth’s crust. The available research shows that lead accumulates in the environment due to its non-biodegradable nature and ongoing use, which has a number of negative impacts including neurotoxicity and altered psychological and behavioral development in many organisms. Lead’s speciation in soil has a significant impact on its bioavailability and, consequently, its toxicity to plants and microorganisms. In order to counteract the poisonous effects of lead, numerous plants and microorganisms have evolved detoxifying processes.
This global environmental problem is well discussed in the book, which also suggests interdisciplinary methodology for the mitigation of contamination. There are three sections in this book. The first section discusses the various sources and locations of lead in soil and plant ecosystems. The second section describes the health dangers of lead toxicity. The third section discusses methods for reducing lead toxicity and possible uses of current biological technology to address problems.
We give a general review of lead-polluted areas’ potential for bioremediation using fungi, bacteria, or plants. These restoration techniques benefit from being econom-ical and environmentally beneficial because they use plants to absorb and immobi-lize pollutants from soil and water, and fungus and bacteria to break them down. Phytoremediation is a well-established, well-researched practice with multiple…
