Description
This book is a comprehensive resource on environmental chemistry of selenium. It covers topics such as analytical methods and modeling, regulatory aspects, and real-world examples. The book is enhanced with adaptable real-world examples, and it provides state-of-the-art instrumentation for detecting low levels of selenium in water, soil, and plants. It also addresses the safe supplementation of selenium in animal nutrition to promote livestock health, reviews diagnostic and field research results on the pathology and toxicology of selenium impacts on fish, waterfowl, and mammals, and discusses simulation and prediction techniques to assess the effect of selenium in areas where little or no data exists. Finally, the book introduces phytoremediation of selenium by specific plants as a new treatment approach.
Written as a complement to the definitive work Selenium in the Environment (Marcel Dekker, Inc.), this timely resource presents basic and the most recent applied research developments in selenium remediation;emphasizing field investigations as well as covering topics from analytical methods and modeling to regulatory aspects from federal and state perspectives. Enhanced with highly adaptable real-world examples, Environmental Chemistry of Selenium describes state-of-the-art instrumentation for detecting low levels of selenium in water, soil, and plants addresses the safe supplementation of selenium in animal nutrition to promote livestock health furnishes detailed studies on the hydrogeological and biological cycles of selenium at various field sites reviews diagnostic and field research results on the pathology and toxicology of selenium impacts on fish, waterfowl, and mammals discusses simulation and prediction techniques to assess the effect of selenium in areas where little or no data exists and that are susceptible to contamination provides innovative treatment technologies for removing selenium directly from water introduces phytoremediation of selenium by specific plants as a new treatment approach and much more!
