Arsenic Its Contamination & Cleaning up By Phytoremediation Technique

Arsenic Contamination of soil is drastically increased by extensive industrialization mining use of pesticides smelting of non-ferrous metals which have became an alarming concern for the environment worldwide. The remediation of Arsenic has became extremely important as it can create severe health issues in humans. The book further covers the toxic effects of Arsenic on plants and humans.
