The aims of this book are: (a) to focus on a selection of current challenges and research opportunities and (b) to encourage knowledge transfer between geochemists and mineralogists whose work concerns medical problems and medical scientists who study problems surrounding biominerals and geomaterials. This book covers a variety of novel approaches, tools and techniques, and scenarios of contamination in water and wastewater, and is a key resource for policymakers and environmental scientists working hard to address environmental pollutants. The key features are: state-of-the-art techniques for the assessment and remediation of heavy metals, presenting the interdisciplinary impacts of heavy metals, including those on human health, ecosystems and water quality, and including various contamination indices, such as contamination factor, geoaccumulation index, enrichment factor, pollution index and ecological risk index.ChemistrybicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscactivated clayadsorptionbiotic stresscalcium carbonate nanoparticlescalcium oxide nanoparticlescancer riskcesium-137decision makingdiseaseseggshellfluoridefly ashGanges Rivergroundwaterheavy metalhuman healthhydrogeologyincense sticks ashLandsat 8 SRmanagementnanoparticlesnominal risknuclear accidentphosphorusplant diseasespolicy changepollution indicesradioactive contaminationradiocesiumradionuclideRamganga Riverreactorriskrural community water supplysilver nanoparticlessludgesoilsteel slagSustainable Development Goal 6terrestrial environmentturbiditywater qualityweathered basement aquiferzinc nanoparticlesChemistryResearch & information: generalPinto Marina Cabraledt1327930Kumar AmitedtPinto Marina CabralothKumar AmitothBOOK9910557769803321Effects of Mineral Elements on the Environment3038289UNINA
