Arsenic, a deadly toxic element, is widely distributed in freshwater systems with an average concentration of approximately 1.7 g/L, predominantly as inorganic forms, from natural and anthropogenic sources. Phytoremediation, a plant-based eco-friendly technology, is receiving increasing attention, and aquatic plants can be used for the remediation of arsenic-contaminated water. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), duckweeds (Lemna spp., Spirodela polyrhiza), water fern (Azolla spp.), hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) and watercress (Lepidium sativum) have been studied to assess their...

This book presents a comprehensive and detailed description of remediation techniques for metal-contaminated soils derived from both natural processes and anthropogenic activities. Using a methodical, step-by-step presentation, the book starts by overviewing the origin of toxicants and the correlated comparative extent of contamination to the environment. The legal provisions as proposed or applied in different countries are then discussed to explain the global regulatory situation regarding soil contamination and the extent of consequent concern. The core part of this publication...
