Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology of Hazardous Heavy Metals: Environmental Persistence, Toxicity, and Bioaccumulation
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of the environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology of hazardous heavy metals and metalloids is presented, focusing on their environmental persistence, toxicity for living organisms, and bioaccumulative potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient techniques for the removal of toxic heavy metals from aquatic environment: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a sketch about treatment technologies followed by their heavy metal capture capacity from industrial effluent, the treatment performance, their remediation capacity and probable environmental and health impacts were deliberated in this review article.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Strategy for Heavy Metal Polluted Environments: A Review of Microbial Biosorbents
TL;DR: The sources of toxic heavy metals are discussed, the groups of microorganisms with biosorbent potential for heavy metal removal are described and the use of microbial biosorbents is eco-friendly and cost effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remediation techniques for heavy metal-contaminated soils: Principles and applicability
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive assessment indicates that chemical stabilization serves as a temporary soil remediation technique, phytoremediation needs improvement in efficiency, surface capping and landfilling are applicable to small, serious-contamination sites, while solidification and vitrification are the last remediation option.

Heavy Metals in Contaminated Soils: A Review of Sources, Chemistry, Risks and Best Available Strategies for Remediation
TL;DR: The principles, advantages and disadvantages of immobilization, soil washing and phytoremediation techniques which are frequently listed among the best demonstrated available technologies for cleaning up heavy metal contaminated sites are presented.
Terrestrial higher plants which hyperaccumulate metallic elements. a review of their distribution, ecology and phytochemistry
TL;DR: Phytochemical studies suggest that hyperaccumulation is closely linked to the mechanism of metal tolerance involved in the successful colonization of metalliferous and otherwise phytotoxic soils.
