Metal Toxicology Handbook

Metal Toxicology Handbook

Heavy metals and metalloids singly or in combination induce toxic manifestations either through acute or chronic pathology. In particular long-term chronic exposure to diverse heavy metals and metalloids to humans and animals can lead to numerous physical muscular neurological nephrological and diverse degenerative diseases and dysfunctions including multiple sclerosis muscular dystrophy Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases cardiovascular disorders and several others. Recognized heavy metals such as lead mercury arsenic cadmium thallium and hexavalent chromium are known for enormous toxicity. The immediate vital signs of acute heavy metal exposure include nausea vomiting diarrhea and acute abdominal pain. Mercury has been identified as the most toxic heavy metal and mercury poisoning is known as acrodynia or pink disease. Similarly lead another toxic heavy metal was at one time an integral part of painting. Metal Toxicology Handbook further explains and discusses the varying attributes of metals discussing toxicity safety and proper human utilization of metals. Beginning with a broad overview of metals metalloids redox biology and neurodegeneration and going further into the roles benefits and toxicity of metals with each section the text contains 28 chapters from eminent researchers and scientists in their respective fields and is a must-have for anyone researching the potential toxicity in metals.

Routledge Handbook of Seabed Mining and the Law of the Sea

Routledge Handbook of Seabed Mining and the Law of the Sea

For years exploration of seabed natural resources has been ongoing while exploitation in deep marine areas remained unrealistic due to land-based mineral availability and costs. However mounting pressures from the green transition climate change and long-lasting fears of terrestrial minerals scarcity now bring exploitation prospects closer to reality. This has caused concern to a growing chorus of States scientists industries NGOs and parts of civil society due to the potential environmental and social impacts of these activities. As a result the idea of a moratorium or ‘precautionary pause’ is gaining ground. Yet an important number of interpretation and implementation issues of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 1994 Agreement remain to be answered as a means to move forward in accordance with international law. This multidisciplinary book designed to become the essential handbook on the matter provides a global overview of the national regional and international regulatory frameworks applicable to the exploration and exploitation of seabed minerals on the continental shelf and the Area as well as the related state of the science on the matter. By presenting historical and geopolitical context crucial to understanding regulation evolution the book equips readers with foundational legal and policy knowledge. It furthermore addresses contemporary and prospective issues and offers unique insights into regional and national practices including non-Party States to UNCLOS.

Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set

Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set

This new 3-volume set provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that mediate biosynthesis accumulation and degradation of plant metabolites so as to employ novel strategies to improve crop production and enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Abiotic stresses such as drought high salt cold heat UV radiation heavy metal pollution etc. are increasingly responsible for restricting plant growth and agricultural production and are becoming more alarming due to threats from global climate change. To combat these threats it is imperative to study the underlying mechanisms of stress tolerance from diverse metabolites and the biosynthesis pathways for metabolite production to maintain osmotic balance under diverse environmental stresses. Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants provides that understanding. Volume 1: Secondary Metabolites in Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses exclusively on the diverse secondary metabolites that play a major role in the adaptation of plants to the environment and in overcoming stress conditions as well as their implications in enhancing tolerance mechanisms. The chapters in this section review and integrate the currently available information on the protective role rendered by a wide array of antioxidative secondary metabolites and their regulation during diverse environmental stress. Volume 2: Trace Elements in Environmental Stress Tolerance throws light on the different inorganic trace elements including metal nanoparticles that help to deal with various environmental stresses. While these elements at high level create considerable phytotoxicity and halt metabolic and enzymatic activity they also promote growth and development in limited quantity so that they have significant potential in revamping plant morphology and physiology under stressed conditions. Hence optimum concentration management of these elements can help to mitigate world hunger and contribute toward sustainable agriculture and food security under challenging environments. Volume 3: Sustainable Approaches for Enhancing Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses on the agronomic and biochemical approaches as well as biotechnological and high-throughput technologies including the prospects of genetic engineering epigenetics and the latest CRISPR/Cas technology in generating stress-tolerant plants. The volume provides a clear road map for the implementation of techniques for improving abiotic stress tolerance in plants for better sustenance. Key features: Provides an advanced understanding of the mechanisms of action of secondary metabolites and trace elements in environmental stress tolerance as well as the different agronomic and biotechnological methods that enhances stress tolerance Looks at the overall metabolic pathways and genetic engineering giving a holistic view of plant-level studies of diverse abiotic stresses affecting different metabolic pathways Provides the groundwork to help researchers in designing future programs for identifying novel genes and proteins and targeting proper pathways to develop climate-resilient plants Altogether the three-volume Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants will enhance our understanding of plant responses to environmental stresses and enable implementation of programs and practices that can help us to develop climate-resilient plants with better performance for better yield and quality. | Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set
