商品描述
Heavy metal and metalloid contamination of groundwater and surface water ecosystems involves important policy-related and ethical issues besides its more well-known scientific aspects. Heavy Metal and Metalloid Contamination of Surface and Underground Water: Environmental, Policy, and Ethical Issues has brought these three dimensions under a single volume. The book presents an updated status of the nature and extent of heavy metal and metalloid contamination of water and discuss its future implications. In Section I, the book provides a state-of-the-art review of research findings on entry, storage, and release, human health risks, and the uptake and accumulation by freshwater biota and the toxic effects experienced by them. The book also provides information on the bioremediation of heavy metals and metalloids, and the possible effects of climate change on their distribution and toxicity. Section II of the book throws light on the policies and legislations adopted in several countries to deal with the vexed issue of metal contamination of waters in both historical and current perspectives. Special emphasis has been given to the contamination of drinking water and its attendant implications for human health. The book also treats the relevance and applications of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), which forms the backbone of the water policies of several countries. In Section III, discussions focus on ethical issues rising out of heavy metal and metalloid contamination of water, and on the different ethical approaches and principles in both indigenous and other societies.
Features:
- A systematic overview of the major facets of heavy metal and metalloid contamination of water
- Compilation and analysis of the latest research in the subject area
- Ample case studies in all chapters that highlight specific problems
- Review of policy and legislation for the control of heavy metal pollution of water
- Water ethics in indigenous societies
This book will be a vital resource for students and research scholars in the field of environmental science, ecotoxicology, and pollution studies.

重金屬和類金屬對地下水和地表水生態系統的污染除了其更為人知的科學方面外，還涉及重要的政策相關和倫理問題。《重金屬和類金屬對地表水和地下水的污染：環境、政策和倫理問題》將這三個維度整合於一本書中。該書呈現了重金屬和類金屬對水污染的性質和範圍的最新狀況，並討論其未來的影響。在第一部分中，該書提供了關於重金屬和類金屬的進入、儲存和釋放、人類健康風險以及淡水生物的攝取和累積及其所經歷的毒性影響的研究成果的最先進回顧。該書還提供了重金屬和類金屬的生物修復信息，以及氣候變化對其分佈和毒性的可能影響。第二部分則闡述了幾個國家為應對水體金屬污染這一棘手問題而採取的政策和立法，並從歷史和當前的角度進行分析。特別強調了飲用水的污染及其對人類健康的相關影響。該書還探討了綜合水資源管理（IWRM）的相關性和應用，這是幾個國家水政策的基礎。在第三部分中，討論重點集中在重金屬和類金屬水污染所引發的倫理問題，以及在原住民和其他社會中的不同倫理方法和原則。
本書的特色：
- 對水中重金屬和類金屬污染的主要面向進行系統性概述
- 最新研究的彙編和分析
- 每章中都有豐富的案例研究，突顯特定問題
- 對水中重金屬污染控制的政策和立法進行回顧
- 原住民社會中的水倫理
本書將成為環境科學、生態毒理學和污染研究領域學生和研究學者的重要資源。
