Heavy Metals in the Environment Microorganisms and Bioremediation

Heavy Metals in the Environment: Microorganisms and Bioremediation serves as a resource for both undergraduate and graduate students studying microbiology, chemistry, and environmental sciences, biotechnology, and engineering. The book not only focuses on heavy metal effects on the environment, but also on their effect on human health. Building on this, the authors give examples of ways to immobilize and mobilize heavy metals as well as methods to decontaminate and treat these effects. The included case studies are a great resource to industry personnel that are interested in exploring new methods of treatment for their wastes and residue.
