In the aquatic system, heavy metal pollution has become an environmental concern, as it is extremely recalcitrant and non-degradable. Even at low concentrations, heavy metals can cause toxicity to humans and other forms of life. It is necessary to uptake these heavy metals from wastewater before its disposal. The toxicity of heavy metals could be transformed from relevant low toxic species into more toxic forms. Read More>>>>>
