Heavy Metal Pollution Research Recent Advances

Some 65 of the known 92 elements are metallic in nature. The term metal designates an element that is a good conductor of electricity whose electrical resistance is directly proportion to absolute 0T. In addition, metals share some distinctive characteristics such as high thermal conductivity and high density. Metallic elements are intrinsic components of the environment. Some 19 heavy metals of the known 65 metals are toxic in nature and cause a great threat to the living as well as non-living world, and so man is no exception. Actually toxic heavy metals are present at
