Toxic Effects of Heavy Metals in the Environment examines the sources, distribution, and toxicological impacts of heavy metals on living organisms and ecosystems. It covers metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, highlighting their mechanisms of toxicity and health risks. The book emphasizes remediation techniques and regulatory measures to control heavy metal pollution. Ideal for toxicologists and environmental engineers, it promotes effective management of heavy metal contaminants to safeguard environmental and public health.
Hudson Cardenas examines the toxicological effects of heavy metals in the environment, focusing on their persistence and bioaccumulation in food webs. His research explores how metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium impact human and animal health. Hudson has developed analytical techniques to detect and quantify heavy metal contamination in various environmental matrices. He has published extensively on the sources, pathways, and health risks associated with heavy metal exposure. As an editor, Hudson offers guidelines for toxicologists and environmental scientists to assess and mitigate heavy metal toxicity, promoting safer environments through informed interventions.
