Environmental pollution is one of the main problems to confront
humanity, with the heavy metals occupying a leading role among the
most pernicious pollutants. The metals cause cancer and other
sicknesses. Their cytotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic potentials
are not fully understood, and any thorough investigation demands
the combined efforts of scientists drawn from many different
disciplines. But the effects of heavy metals are not all negative:
some, like cis-DDP, and some ruthenium and tin complexes, have
antitumour activity. The idea underlying the present work is
therefore to present a multidisciplinary perspective on heavy
metals in the environment, affording a better understanding of
their action on human organisms and health, aiming to make them
less polluting and more environmentally friendly.
