Abstract :

Among the various inorganic pollutants in water bodies, heavy metal ions are very toxic and carcinogenic in nature. The presence of heavy metal ions in the aquatic environment has been of great concern because of their toxicity at lower concentration. Some metal ions are cumulative poisons capable of being assimilated and stored in the tissues of the organisms, causing noticeable adverse physiological effects. This review presents the sources and toxicity of heavy metal ions like Pb(II), Cd(II),Hg(II), Co(II), Cu(II), As(III), Zn(II) and the remediation techniques adopted in general for the treatment of heavy metal ions from wastewater.
