Hazardous and Trace Materials in Soil and Plants: Sources, Effects and Management

Hazardous and Trace Materials in Soil and Plants: Sources, Effects and Management explores the latest advancements in reducing, avoiding and eliminating soil contaminants that challenge the health and safety of agricultural plants. With a focus on minimizing the production of those hazardous substances, controlling their distribution and ensuring safe utilization, the book explores each contributing area and provides insights toward improved, sustainable and secure production. This is an excellent reference resource on both current research and future directions from laboratory research to field applications. The combined impacts of climate change and industrialization have led to increased and diversified threats to the health of the soil in which our food crops are grown, as well as in the plants themselves. This dual-hazard scenario is increasingly recognized as a threat to not just the environment, but to global food security as agricultural soils contaminated with pollutants alter plant metabolism, thus resulting in reduced crop quality and production quantity. Addresses the challenges of mitigating toxic substances in plants, including agricultural crops Presents current status and future prospects for managing biotic and abiotic environmental stress factors through plant stress tolerance mechanisms Includes chapters that address both biotic and abiotic stresses, agricultural and environmental science, toxicology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and molecular studies Integrates insights and developments between environmental and plant science INDICE: SECTION-A: OVERVIEW OF HAZARDOUS AND TRACE MATERIALS IN SOIL, PLANTS & ENVIRONMENT An Overview of the Hazardous and Trace Materials in Soil and Plants Biological contamination and the control of biological contaminants in environment Long-term challenges, the characteristics and behavior of each hazardous material and trace element in soil Effect of selenium on soils and plants and its management SECTION-B: HAZARDOUS AND TRACE MATERIALS IN THE SOIL ENVIRONMENT Heavy metals in contaminated soils: A bird's eye view of causes, risks and strategies for remediation Soil chemical pollution, risk assessment and remediation Soil heavy metal pollution: Impact on plants and methods of bioremediation SECTION-C: HAZARDOUS AND TRACE MATERIALS IN THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT Removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) from water and wastewater through biological processes: an overview Sediment pollution in aquatic environments in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires (MABA), Argentina SECTION-D: HAZARDOUS AND TRACE MATERIALS IN PLANTS Hazardous elements in Plants: Sources, Effects and Management Bioaccumulation and translocation of some trace elements in co-occurring halophytes (Amaranthaceae) from Algerian saline areas Heavy metal toxicity and underlying mechanisms for heavy metal tolerance in medicinal legumes Biochemical responses of plants towards heavy metals in soil Spatial distribution of arsenic species in soil ecosystem and their effect on plant physiology Aluminium in tea plants: Phytotoxicity, tolerance and mitigation Role of phytohormones in mitigating the harmful impacts of hazardous and trace materials on agriculture crops Cadmium-mediated oxidative stress and hazard in plants and its management SECTION-E: HAZARDOUS AND TRACE MATERIALS AND MICROORGANISMS Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria as bioremediators of polluted agricultural soils: challenges and prospects Bacterial polyamines: A key mediator to combat stress tolerance in plants Plants and microbes assisted remediation of cadmium contaminated soil The efficiency of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on sequestration of potentially toxic elements in soil SECTION F- MANAGEMENT AND RAMEDIATION OF HAZARDOUS AND TRACE MATERIALS Biomonitoring of heavy metals contamination in soil ecosystem Role of nanoparticles in remediation of environmental contaminants Genomic approaches for phytoremediation of trace & hazardous materials
