Lead

Lead covers the chemistry of its effects, and its effects on health.

The technical, economic and social importance of the Lead, is beyond all doubt. However, over the last few decades, the book addresses that gap.

It covers the historical aspects, lead mining and production, coordination, chemistry, organometallic chemistry, environmental chemistry, toxicity mechanisms, and treatment strategies for lead poisoning. Finally, describing analytical procedures for the lead in chemical, biological and environmental samples.

* Written by a team of university teachers and researchers in the fields of chemistry, analytical and environmental impact
* For readers interested in chemistry and biochemistry
* Provides comprehensive knowledge about lead toxicity and preventive measures against lead poisoning
