Environmental Geochemistry of Potentially Toxic Metals

Focusing on the impact of heavy metals on ecosystems, this book explores both natural and human-made sources of pollution. It examines the conditions influencing the mobility of these metals and their pathways into organisms, leading to toxic concentrations. The text reviews various environmental assessment methods and analytical techniques for measuring metal bonding and bioavailability. Additionally, it discusses existing and emerging remediation strategies while highlighting the importance of pre-planning in projects to mitigate the release of toxic metals into the environment.
