Case Study of Arsenic Removal by Five Different Non-Edible Plants

Meer over het boek

The book explores the detrimental effects of anthropogenic activities on soil quality, particularly the contamination of soil with toxic heavy metals like Arsenic, which poses serious health risks through the food chain. It highlights the role of various pollutants and natural processes in soil degradation. The focus is on phytoremediation, showcasing five non-edible hyper-accumulator plants that effectively extract and store Arsenic from contaminated soils, making them less toxic and suitable for reuse.
