Toxic metal removal by Biosorption
Toxicity of Flouride and Chromate ions is well known,causing Fluorosis and Cancer respectively. Arsenic , mercury, lead and cadmium are highly toxic even at low levels. Zn( ll) is substituted in metallo enzymes by cadmium. Toxic As ( lll) inhibits enzyme action. Mercury is responsible for Minimata disease while lead poisoning occurs due to its presence
