Meet the challenge of contaminated soil with a range of sustainable toolsThe remediation of soils which have been polluted by trace metals is an increasingly significant environmental challenge in an industrialized global economy. The ongoing revolution in green technologies, however, has seen a range of sustainable methods emerge for remediating soils, water, and other aspects of the environment polluted by trace metals. By putting them into practice, environmental researchers and industrial professionals will be able to improve soil and groundwater quality and public health globally.Remediation of Heavy Metals offers a clear, accessible reference on these methods and their applications. It offers an overview of the major effects of heavy metal contamination and works through each of the methods or protocols available to remediate soil and minimize pollution at the source.Remediation of Heavy Metals readers will also find:* Comparison of different absorption materials for heavy metal removal* Detailed discussion of physical, chemical, and biological remediation methods* Case studies demonstrating proper remediationRemediation of Heavy Metals provides key knowledge for environmental scientists, environmental toxicologists, and other researchers or industrial professionals working in soil remediation, as well as advanced graduate students in these areas.
