Arsenic Toxicity: Challenges and Solutions
اس ای بک کے بارے میں
The book covers sources of arsenic contamination, and its impact on human health and on prospective remediation both by bioremediation and phytoremediation. Applications of advance techniques such as genetic engineering and nanotechnology are also discussed to resolve the issue of arsenic contamination in ground water and river basins. The book sheds light on thisglobal environmental issue, and proposes solutions to remove contamination through a multi-disciplinary lens and case studies from Bangladesh and India.
The book may serve as a reference to environment and sustainability researchers, students and policy makers. It delivers an outline to graduate, undergraduate students and researchers, as well as academicians who are working on arsenic toxicity with respect to remediation and health issues.
