Book Description
The disposal of sewage treatment plant sludges poses a serious problem. Potentially, these materials could be used as fertilizers on agricultural lands. This would be a double benefit acting as a disposal mechanism as well as a source of plant nutrients. On the other hand, a variety of reports have appeared urging caution in this regard for fear of contamination of the land by other matrix constituents. Among these are the potentially toxic heavy metals. A series of reports, most of which have appeared in the past year, describe the metal content of domestic sewage plant sludges and sewage sludge fertilizers. Researchers study the uptake by plants of heavy metals from sludged or otherwise metal contaminated soils. The present study emphasizes the utilization of standard and control samples as tools for validating the data obtained.

Book Description
Heavy metals in soils continue to receive increasing attention due to the growing scientific and public awareness of environmental issues and the development of analytical techniques to measure their concentrations accurately. Building on the success and acclaim of the first edition, this book continues to provide an up-to-date, balanced and comprehensive review of the subject in two sections: the first providing an introduction to the metals chemistry, sources and methods used for their analysis; and the second containing chapters dealing with individual elements in detail.

Book Description
Following a description of the various sources and factors influencing the contents of heavy metal pollution in post-catastrophic and agricultural soils, subsequent chapters examine soil enzymes and eggs as bio-monitors, lead adsorption, the effects of arsenic on microbial diversity, and the effects of Mediterranean grasslands on abandoned mines. A third section focuses on the adaptation strategies used by plants and bacteria, such as Pinus sylvestris in industrial areas, and the rhizosphere in contaminated tropical soils and soil treated with sewage sludge. Further topics addressed include strategies of bioremediation, e.g. using transgenic plants as tools for soil remediation. This new volume on heavy metals in soil will be of interest to researchers and scholars in microbial and plant biotechnology, agriculture, the environmental sciences and soil ecology.
