Introduction

With industrialization continuing to raise heavy metal levels in soil, water, and food chains, Heavy Metal Detoxification from the Environment: Uncovering Molecular Approaches offers a comprehensive look at sustainable, eco-friendly strategies to mitigate heavy metal contamination.

With industrialization continuing to raise heavy metal levels in soil, water, and food chains, Heavy Metal Detoxification from the Environment: Uncovering Molecular Approaches offers a comprehensive look at sustainable, eco-friendly strategies to mitigate heavy metal contamination.

By integrating molecular biology, biotechnology, and environmental science, this volume offers researchers and practitioners a cutting-edge perspective on how genetic and functional characterization of detoxifying agents can transform heavy metal remediation into a greener, more effective practice.

Key Features:

  • - Examines molecular mechanisms underlying heavy metal detoxification
  • - Applies metagenomic and omics-based tools to analyze remediation pathways
  • - Employs eco-friendly bioremediation agents such as microbes, plants, and mycorrhizae
  • - Explores next-generation sequencing techniques for identifying key detoxification genes
  • - Bridges molecular biology with sustainable environmental management practices


Target Readership:

For researchers, academics, and graduate students in environmental science, biotechnology, and molecular biology, and industry professionals focused on sustainable remediation and pollution control.
