Heavy Metals - Recent Advances

Edited by Basim A. Almayyahi

Abstract: Heavy metals can be found everywhere; on Earth, in water, in the food we eat, and even inside our bodies. It is very important to learn more about heavy metals and how they can improve human life, including how to use them and how to avoid harm. This book covers several topics on heavy metals to enrich our knowledge about their effects, removal, and protection.
