- Description
- A toxic heavy metal is a one which is plausibly dense metal or metalloid that is eminent for its prospective toxicity, particularly in environmental context. Heavy metal poisoning may crop up as an upshot of air or water contamination, exposure to industrial activities, foodstuffs, medicines, coarsely coated food containers, etc. The present review highlights various issues related to the effects of Cr (VI) heavy metal toxicity to human health and its adsorption from wastewater using low cost adsorbents. Many researchers have lay their endeavor to ascertain low-priced adsorbents that are effortlessly available and have power over the sensible adsorption capacity. It is perceptible from the literature survey that the revealed adsorbents have established stupendous removal capabilities for Cr (VI) metal ions. As the convention of heavy metal Cr (VI) is increased, it is implicit that there is a strong need for research to remove Cr (VI) heavy metal ions from wastewater to trim down the problem of soaring anthropogenic pressure and burly tendency to mount up in living organisms. 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
