Publisher: CRC
Number Of Pages: 744

Binding: Hardcover
New analytical techniques have enhanced current understanding of the
behavior of trace and ultratrace elements in the biogeochemical
cycling, chemical speciation, bioavailability, bioaccumulation, and as
applied to the phytoremediation of contaminated soils. Addressing
worldwide regulatory, scientific, and environmental issues, Trace
Elements in the Environment explores these frontiers, including
biotechnological aspects of metal-binding proteins and peptides and
phytoremediation strategies using trees, grasses, crop plants,
aquatics, and risks to ecological and human health. Discussing trace
elements in the holistic environment, this book covers advances in
state-of-the-art analytical techniques, molecular biotechology, and
contemporary biotechnology that enhances knowledge of the behavior of
trace elements in the biogeosphere and at the cellular and molecular
level.
The editors and their hand-picked panel of contributors provide
authoritative coverage of trace elements in the environment. They
highlight cutting-edge applications of emerging strategies and
technologies to the problems of trace elements in the environment. The
editors discuss emerging areas such as bacterial biosorption of trace
elements, processes, and applications of electroremediation of heavy
metals-contaminated soils, application of novel nanoporous sorbents for
the removal of heavy metals, metalloids, and radionuclides. The book
focuses on the effects of increasing levels of trace elements on
ecological and human health, evaluates the effectiveness of methods of
phytoremediation, and covers risk assessment, pathways, and trace
element toxicity.
Containing more than 150 illustrations, tables, photographs, and
equations, the book's coverage spans the entire body of knowledge
available about how and why plants interact with metals and other trace
elements.
Features:
路 Emphasizes biotechnological aspects from transgenic plants for
environmental cleanup to microbial sensors for monitoring trace
elements 路 Provides background information and appropriate examples for
the understanding of trace elements in the biogeosphere 路 Discusses the
use of biomaterials as efficient and affordable methods for cleaning up
heavy-metals contaminated soils 路 Examines the scope and limitations of
plant metallothionein genes, genetic engineering for the cleanup of
toxic trace elements, and metallomics 路 Covers the advantages and
limitations, adaptive physiology, and rhizosphere biotechnology of
bioremediation
