The presence of cobalt(II) in wastewater is an emergent concern because of its toxicity at elevated concentration.
Co(II) is a non-biodegradable, carcinogenic and mutagenic pollutant released from natural, industrial and
manmade sources. In recent years, the control of water that has been polluted with Co(II) has been an emergent
issue. The release of Co(II) into waterways is undesirable because ingestion of high levels of Co(II) may cause
severe health issues including cancer. The current review discusses the different adsorbents such as carbonaceous and activated carbon materials, nanosized metal oxides, low-cost natural materials, clay minerals and
nanocomposites employed by researchers to treat Co(II)-polluted water. The systems used have been assessed in
terms of overall Co(II) sorption capacity. Special emphasis has been given to the environmental conditions such
as contact time, solution pH, initial Co(II) concentration, temperature, and mineral dosage. Moreover, empirical
and surface complexation modeling (SCM) of the sorption systems is summarized. Natural materials, agricultural
waste materials, and bio sorbents exhibited outstanding Co(II) sorption performance. The current investigation
provides an overview of the state of the Co(II) removal studies performed by using various adsorbents.

This document provides information on adverse health effects of heavy metals in children. It discusses sources and routes of exposure to heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, copper, and thallium. The document describes the mechanisms and clinical effects of heavy metal toxicity and strategies for prevention. It aims to provide an overview of public health impacts, epidemiology, and prevention of heavy metal toxicity in children.
Heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, and lead are naturally occurring but are also released from industrial and other human activities. They persist indefinitely in the environment and can accumulate in living organisms, posing health risks. Mercury is a liquid metal used historically in products like thermometers and batteries but now regulated. It evaporates easily and bioaccumulates as the toxic methylmercury in fish. Exposure can cause neurological, kidney, and developmental problems. While an essential element for life, mercury becomes toxic and dangerous at higher levels.
Heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic are toxic to human health. They are mainly produced by industrial activities and slowly deposit in surrounding environments. Heavy metals are determined using techniques like atomic absorption spectrophotometry and x-ray fluorescence. Mercury and arsenic exposure can cause various health effects ranging from skin irritation to cancer and death. Control methods include periodic vacuuming, replacing appliances, removing old paints, and using absorbents to remove heavy metals from indoor air.
This document discusses the toxic effects of heavy metals such as mercury and lead. Mercury is a liquid metal that occurs naturally as cinnabar ore. It is released into the environment through coal burning and waste incineration. Mercury exposure can damage the brain, kidneys and nervous system. Methylmercury exposure in the womb can impair child development. Lead is a metal used in batteries, paint and plumbing. Lead exposure interferes with hemoglobin production and brain development in children, causing issues with behavior and attention. Both mercury and lead contamination stem from industries like mining and smelting as well as vehicle emissions.
Lead is a naturally occurring metal found in small amounts in the earth's crust that can be toxic to humans and animals. It accumulates in plants and their tissues, stunting growth and inhibiting photosynthesis and respiration. Plants have defense mechanisms against lead toxicity like reducing uptake and sequestering lead into vacuoles. Phytoremediation techniques use plants to remove or stabilize lead in soils and water. In humans, lead poisoning above certain blood levels can impact neurological development, kidney function, and cardiovascular health. Chelation therapy is used to treat higher levels of lead poisoning. Biotechnologists can develop genetically modified plants to remediate lead contamination and improve diagnostic tests and treatments.

The removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater is of great concern as heavy metals are non-biodegradable, toxic elements that cause serious health problems if disposed of in the surrounding environment. The present study, Karisalangkani (Eclipta Alba) leaves were used for the adsorption of heavy metals like copper (Cu (II)) ions. The bio sorbent was characterized using SEM and BET analysis. The bio sorption experiments are conducted through batch system. The operating parameters studied were initial metal ion concentration, adsorbent dosage, initial solution pH, contact time and effect of temperature Adsorption equilibrium is achieved in 30 min and the adsorption kinetics of Cu (II) is found to follow a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Equilibrium data for Cu (II) adsorption are fitted well by Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity for Cu (II) ions is estimated to be 9.2 mgg at 25 °C. The experimental result shows that the materials have good potential to remove heavy metals from effluent and good potential as an alternate low cost adsorbent. Due to their outstanding adsorption capacities, Eclipta Alba is excellent sorbents for the removal of copper (II) ions. B. Kavitha | R.
