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. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aChemistry$2bicssc 610 $aphosphorus 610 $aadsorption 610 $asteel slag 610 $afly ash 610 $aactivated clay 610 $areactor 610 $aRamganga River 610 $aturbidity 610 $aLandsat 8 SR 610 $awater quality 610 $aGanges River 610 $afluoride 610 $agroundwater 610 $aSustainable Development Goal 6 610 $arural community water supply 610 $aweathered basement aquifer 610 $ahydrogeology 610 $apolicy change 610 $arisk 610 $aheavy metal 610 $ahuman health 610 $apollution indices 610 $asoil 610 $aplant diseases 610 $ananoparticles 610 $adiseases 610 $abiotic stress 610 $amanagement 610 $asilver nanoparticles 610 $azinc nanoparticles 610 $acalcium carbonate nanoparticles 610 $acalcium oxide nanoparticles 610 $aincense sticks ash 610 $asludge 610 $aeggshell 610 $aterrestrial environment 610 $aradiocesium 610 $acesium-137 610 $aradioactive contamination 610 $acancer risk 610 $aradionuclide 610 $anuclear accident 610 $anominal risk 610 $adecision making 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aChemistry 700 $aPinto$b Marina Cabral$4edt$01327930 702 $aKumar$b Amit$4edt 702 $aPinto$b Marina Cabral$4oth 702 $aKumar$b Amit$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557769803321 996 $aEffects of Mineral Elements on the Environment$93038289 997 $aUNINA
