Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals 520 $aExcessive levels of heavy metals can be introduced into the environment, for example, by industrial waste or fertilizers. Soil represents a major sink for heavy metals ions, which can then enter the food chain via plants or leaching into groundwater. In Heavy Metal Ions in the Environment, the author looks at where heavy metals ions come from, how they interact with the environment and how they can be removed from the environment – by a process known as remediation. This book serves as a valuable addition to an increasingly important field of study, which is, at present, served by a limited number of archival texts. * Includes comprehensive coverage of heavy metal ions in the environment * Is practical and easy to read * Is suitable for students and researchers in environmental science and environmental or chemical engineering 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aHeavy metals$xEnvironmental aspects 650 0$aHeavy metals 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aBradl, H.
