Summary

In a world dealing with the widespread impact of heavy metals on our environment, it is crucial to delve deep into the subject and develop effective strategies. Despite appearing in seemingly harmless concentrations, these metals, which do not break down easily and accumulate in living organisms, pose potential threats to various life forms, including humans. Understanding the intricate details of their presence, pathways, sources, and associated risks in our environment underscores the need for focused research.This reprint is expected to provide valuable insights that will lay the foundation for future research and policy efforts. The combined knowledge of the global scientific community shared in these pages will contribute to a more resilient and sustainable approach to tackling the complex challenges presented by heavy metal pollutants in our environment. Additionally, the reprint will serve as a handy reference for students, scholars, and budding researchers.
