It is now accepted that some human-induced climate change is unavoidable. Potential
impacts on water supply have received much attention, but relatively little is known about the …

Environmental pollution caused due to the presence of heavy metals has become a great
concern as it has an adverse effect on almost all types of ecosystem. In this sense, these …

Intensified industrialization and human activities have resulted in the release of various
contaminants into the environment. Among them, heavy metals are often present as a result …

Heavy metals influence the population size, diversity, and metabolic activity of bacteria. In
turn, bacteria can develop heavy metal resistance mechanisms, and this can be used in …
