Charulata Srivastav

Abstract :

 Toxicity in Environment is a global concern. All of us are surrounded by environmental toxins. Substances that may cause distress or disease to our bodies can be found in everything that we eat, in everything that we drink and even in the air we eathe. Toxins, including chlorofluorocarbons, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, toxic waste, PCB(polychlorinated biphenyl), DDT, bioaccumulation, endocrine disruptors, asbestos and poorly implemented hazardous waste management. Some of these compounds are a by–product of an industrialized world. Generally Heavy metals are released from factories or are produced as waste substances in the industry. The objective of this paper is to investigate environmental occurrence, impact and remedial methods of some toxic heavy metals.
