商品描述

This book delivers an outline to graduate, undergraduate students, and researchers, as well as academicians who are working on lead toxicity with respect to remediation. It covers sources of lead contamination and its impact on human health and on prospective remediation through multi-disciplinary approaches with application of recent advanced biological technology. Lead is among the elements that have been most extensively used by man over time. This has led to extensive pollution of surface soils on the local scale, mainly associated with mining and smelting of the metal and addition of organic lead compounds to petrol. Release of lead to the atmosphere from various high-temperature processes has led to surface contamination on the regional and even global scale. In addition, plants grown on lead-rich soils incorporate lead, and thus, the concentration of lead in crop plants may be increased. Lead enters in the food chain through consumption of plant material. A high concentration oflead has been found to be harmful to vegetation. As the lead concentration increases, it adversely affects several biological parameters and eventually renders the soil barren. This edited book brings together a diverse group of researchers to address the challenges posed by global mass poisoning caused by lead contamination of soil and plants. The book sheds light on this global environmental issue and proposes solutions to contamination through multi-disciplinary approaches. This book contains three sections. The first section describes the different sources and distribution of lead in soil and plant ecosystems. The second section explains the health risks linked to lead toxicity. The third section addresses sustainable lead toxicity mitigation strategies and the potential applications of recent biological technology in providing solutions. This book is a valuable resource to students, academics, researchers, and environmental professionals doing fieldwork on lead contamination throughout the world.

本書為研究生、本科生及研究人員，以及從事鉛毒性修復工作的學者提供了一個大綱。內容涵蓋鉛污染的來源及其對人類健康的影響，以及透過多學科方法和應用最新的生物技術進行的潛在修復。鉛是人類歷史上使用最廣泛的元素之一，這導致了當地表層土壤的廣泛污染，主要與金屬的開採和冶煉以及有機鉛化合物添加到汽油有關。來自各種高溫過程的鉛排放到大氣中，導致了區域甚至全球範圍的表面污染。此外，生長在富鉛土壤上的植物會吸收鉛，因此作物植物中的鉛濃度可能會增加。鉛透過植物材料的消費進入食物鏈。高濃度的鉛被發現對植被有害。隨著鉛濃度的增加，它會對多個生物參數產生不利影響，最終使土壤變得貧瘠。本書匯集了一群多樣化的研究人員，以應對由土壤和植物的鉛污染所引發的全球性大規模中毒挑戰。本書揭示了這一全球環境問題，並提出了通過多學科方法解決污染的方案。本書分為三個部分。第一部分描述了土壤和植物生態系統中鉛的不同來源和分佈。第二部分解釋了與鉛毒性相關的健康風險。第三部分探討了可持續的鉛毒性緩解策略及近期生物技術在提供解決方案中的潛在應用。本書是全球從事鉛污染現場研究的學生、學者、研究人員和環境專業人士的重要資源。
