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.
