Heavy Metals in Vegetables Grown in an Old Mining Area.

Posted on May 28, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Heavy metals, such as iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) are found everywhere in our environment and become part of our food chain as coenzymes. Oversupply of these metals can cause toxic effects. Some metals, such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are toxic even at low levels. Vegetables can be a […]

Phytoremediation of Heavy Metal Polluted Soils and Water.

Posted on March 21, 2009 by Dr. Gary Pack

Environmental pollution has been improved by reducing the original sources of the pollution. Phytoremediation (by plants which remove toxins) is a cost effective way to improve the damage to the environment. There are many plants which remove toxins from water or soil. These plants are called hyperaccumulators. This article is about the current state of […]
