چکیده
Heavy metals frequently occur as silent poisons present in our daily diet, the environment we live and products use, leaving us victims to various associated drastic health ecological bad effects even meagre quantities. The prevalence of heavy can be traced from children's toys, electronic goods, industrial effluents, pesticide preparation, drinking water some instances; necessitating methods remediate them. current review discusses physicochemical biological employed tackle problem metal pollution. Apart conventional following principles adsorption, precipitation, coagulation, separation techniques, advancements made directions detoxification using microbes, plants, algae have been critically analyzed identify specific utility different agents for removal. paper is a nutshell remediation strategies, their merits, demerits, modifications done alleviate process

Heavy Metal Toxicity in Soils: Sources, Remediation Technologies and Challenges
Soil pollution with heavy metals draws a serious concern because of their detrimental effects on the living biota. The persistent and non-biodegradable nature of heavy metals eases their accumulation in the environment. Agricultural soils are receiving tremendous amount of pollutants from the various sources. During the last few decades, rapid urbanization, industrialization, injudicious and fa...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Toxicity
Heavy metals are metallic elements which have a high atomic weight and a density much greater (at least 5 times) than water. There are more than 20 heavy metals, but four are of particular concern to human health: lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and inorganic arsenic (As). According to the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. These four heavy metals are four of the top ...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Toxicity
In general, irritable health concern related to heavy metal (accumulation) might be mainly divided into 2 types, i.e. heavy metal poisoning caused by excessive extrinsic exposure and genetic disorders such as Wilson disease (as reviewed by Osredkar et al. in this issue). As for the former type, unlike the latter one, it can be said that the health damage spread with the development of the civil...
متن کاملPlant Responses to Heavy Metal Toxicity
Plants, like all other organisms, have evolved different mechanisms to maintain physiological concentrations of essential metal ions and to minimize exposure to non-essential heavy metals. Some mechanisms are ubiquitous because they are also required for general metal homeostasis, and they minimize the damage caused by high concentrations of heavy metals in plants by detoxification, thereby con...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Toxicity and ADHD
Cumulative evidence shows that the long-term prognosis for ADHD is poor, with higher rates of persistent psychiatric problems (Shekim et al., 1990), neurocognitive difficulties (Murphy et al., 2002), and academic struggles (Ratey et al., 1992). Many theoretical models have been put forward to explain the cause of ADHD (Barkley, 1997); however, it is largely recognized that it is a heterogeneous...
