Water Pollution and Remediation: Heavy Metals (Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World, 53)

"Pollution of waters by toxic metals is accelerating worldwide due to industrial and population growth, notably in countries having poor environmental laws, resulting in many diseases such as cancer. Classical remediation techniques are limited. This books reviews new, advanced or improved techniques for metal removal, such as hybrid treatments, nanotechnologies and unconventional adsorbents, e.g. metal-organic frameworks. Contaminants include rare earth elements, arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, copper and effluents from the electronic, textile, agricultural and pharmaceutical industries"--Publisher's website Front Matter ....Pages i-xvii Sources and Health Risks of Rare Earth Elements in Waters (Willis Gwenzi, Nyarai M.
