This book offers a comprehensive collection of review and case chapters that cover cadmium toxicity and remediation. It covers sources of cadmium contamination, its impact on human health, and prospective remediation strategies, taking a multi-disciplinary approach a focus on application of recent advanced biological technology. The chapters here bring together a diverse group of environmental science, sustainability and health researchers to address the challenges caused by cadmium contamination, explaining the routes of exposure to environmental cadmium, how cadmium is transported in ecosystems, and the health risks linked to cadmium exposure in food and the environment.
This book contains two sections. The first section describes the different sources and distribution of cadmium in soil and plant ecosystems. The second section addresses sustainable cadmium toxicity mitigation strategies and potential applications of recent biological technology. This book is a valuable resource to students, academics, researchers, and environmental professionals studying cadmium contamination throughout the world.
