Trace Metals in the Environment
Summary
This book summarizes research on trace metals including heavy metals in the environment, covering their effects on soil, water, plants, and human health. It also discusses how microplastics accumulate trace metals and spread them through oceans, harming aquatic life and potentially entering the human food chain. The connection between microplastics and heavy metal transport is an important emerging concern for both environmental and human health.
High levels of toxic elements have harmful effects on all aspects of the environment (water, air, plants, etc.). Trace elements, many of which are heavy metals, can compromise soil quality, cause toxicity to plants, and ultimately contaminate the food chain. This book summarizes the effects of trace elements in the environment. Section 1 discusses the influence of trace elements on soil and the ecosystem and Section 2 examines the influence of trace elements on water. The book also discusses microplastics, which accumulate trace elements and pollute the oceans, harming both aquatic and human life.
