Description
Lead covers the salient aspects of the chemistry of lead, its environmental impact, and its effects on health.
The
technical, economic and social importance of Lead, at the present time, is beyond all doubt. However, over the last few decades little
attention has been given to its behaviour (the properties and applications of its compounds, the environmental distribution of these
derivatives, and their impacts on living creatures), this book addresses that gap.
It includes coverage of historical aspects, lead
mining and production, metal properties, common lead compounds, uses of lead and its derivatives, coordination chemistry, organometallic
chemistry, environmental chemistry, toxicity mechanisms, and treatment strategies for lead poisoning. Finally, describing analytical
procedures for the determination of lead in chemical, biological and environmental samples.
Audience
For university students, teachers, chemists, clinicians and industrial staff
