Special Issue on "Heavy Metal Toxicity: Environmental and Human Health Risk Assessment".

This document is a summary of a special issue on "Heavy Metal Toxicity: Environmental and Human Health Risk Assessment." The issue includes fourteen papers that cover various aspects of heavy metal toxicity, such as metal pollution, bioindicators, environmental indicators, phytoremediation, epigenetics, and detoxification therapies. The papers discuss topics such as the monitoring of particulate matter using olive pollen as a bioindicator, the impact of heavy metals on fish and medicinal plants, the presence of toxic elements in sediment and water, lead contamination in soils and sediments, the effectiveness of substances in reducing heavy metal content in soil, the potential sources and concentration of heavy metals in sediments and flamingo tissues, the cellular effects of silver nanoparticle suspensions, the morphological and molecular alterations induced by lead in fish embryos and larvae, heavy metal concentrations in wild brown trout, microbial-based heavy metal bioremediation techniques, and the uses, toxicity, and detoxification therapies of arsenic and thallium. The special issue concludes by mentioning the possibility of further exploration and research in this field. [Extracted from the article]
