Genes and Biochemical Pathways involved in Microbial Transformation of Arsenic. 330 $aArsenic (As) is a widely distributed element in the environment having no known useful physiological function in plants or animals. Historically, this metalloid has been known to be used widely as a poison. Effects of arsenic have come to light in the past few decades due to its increasing contamination in several parts of world, with the worst situation being in Bangladesh and West Bengal in India. This edited volume brings together diverse group of environmental science, sustainability and health researchers to address the challenges posed by global mass poisoning caused by arsenic water contamination. The book covers sources of arsenic contamination, and its impact on human health and on prospective remediation both by bioremediation and phytoremediation. Applications of advance techniques such as genetic engineering and nanotechnology are also discussed to resolve the issue of arsenic contamination in ground water and river basins. The book sheds light on this globalenvironmental issue, and proposes solutions to remove contamination through a multi-disciplinary lens and case studies from Bangladesh and India. The book may serve as a reference to environment and sustainability researchers, students and policy makers. It delivers an outline to graduate, undergraduate students and researchers, as well as academicians who are working on arsenic toxicity with respect to remediation and health issues. 606 $aStress (Physiology) 606 $aPlants 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aBotanical chemistry 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant Stress Responses 606 $aPlant Physiology 606 $aPlant Biochemistry 606 $aAgriculture 615 0$aStress (Physiology) 615 0$aPlants. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aBotanical chemistry. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 14$aPlant Stress Responses. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aPlant Biochemistry. 615 24$aAgriculture. 676 $a581.1 702 $aKumar$b Nitish 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483502103321 996 $aArsenic toxicity$92804887 997 $aUNINA
