This contributed volume covers a comprehensive account of the sources, toxic biological as well as environmental impacts, and possible remediation strategies for contamination by heavy metals. In biological systems, toxic metals affect the integrity of cellular organelles and act as carcinogens causing chromosomal aberrations or as systemic toxicants leading to cardiovascular, neurobehavioral, and immunological disorders. In plants, they interfere with photosynthesis, fertility, metabolite, and chlorophyll synthesis. Toxicity induced by heavy metals involves mechanistic approaches that need to be understood properly. They cannot be degraded by biological or chemical means and thus can only be converted to less harmful forms. The conventional detection methods include biosensors, voltammetry, atomic absorption spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma with atomic emission spectrometry. All such strategies for metal detection and mitigation strategies are covered in this title under one section.
This book incorporates classical views along with modern scientific approaches to develop an understanding of the subject matter suitable for academicians, researchers, planners, policymakers, NGOs, and environmental consultancies and raise awareness on this concern. Topics representing diverse sections namely environmental impacts, biological effects, and methods used for detection and remediation have been included to address all possible contemporary issues on the topic in one concise volume.
Dr. Amrita Srivastava holds PhD from the Department of Botany, Banaras Hindu University and works at Central University of South Bihar, Gaya. She works in the area of microbial secondary metabolite applications. Her major interest is in the characterization of microbial secondary metabolites called siderophores. Recently, she has started working on heavy metal stress, specifically arsenic and cadmium stress. The focus of her work lies in the extraction and purification of microbial secondary metabolite siderophores and their application for heavy metal mitigation in crops, bioremediation, and various symbiotic/antibiotic interactions mediated by them. This includes antifungal and anticancer properties of siderophore and physiological effects on plants and other microbes. She has published 23 research and review articles in journals of international repute, edited 1 book, and authored over 13 book chapters.
