The anthropogenic input of metals into the atmosphere is estimated to be one-to-three orders of magnitude higher than natural fluxes. Soil acts as the primary sink for anthropogenic metals among the environmental spheres. Most metals show indefinite persistence in the ecosphere due to resistance against microbial or chemical-assisted degradation. This edited book is an attempt to compile reviews and case studies from different researchers focu...

Aminopolycarboxylate chelants (APCs) such as, EDTA and its homologs are commonly utilized in the ex situ washing remediation of the metal-contaminated soils due to their ability to interact with the majority of toxic elements. However, the eco-environmental consequences due to the release of APCs to the surroundings become an issue of concern, and increasingly stringent legislative regulations have been proposed or imposed to control the disch...
