This book explores the impact of heavy metals on the environment, particularly in aquatic systems, and their effects on human health. It delves into the sources, properties, and toxicity of various heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, and their bioaccumulation in the food chain. The book emphasizes the risks posed by heavy metal contamination in aquatic environments, especially the dangers to fish and their potential as bio-indicators. It covers both natural and anthropogenic sources of heavy metals, as well as their persistence in the environment and the long-term effects on ecosystems and human populations.

The discussions were thorough, though I found the style of writing a bit dry at times.
