Elsevier academics book covers
The Metallome in Motion: Insights into Ecosystem and Food Chain Toxicodynamics addresses the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of metal contaminants within ecosystems and their cascading effects through food chains. This book fills a vital gap by integrating multidisciplinary research on how metals influence biological systems, food safety, and environmental health. As concerns over metal pollution grow, a resource that unites molecular, ecological, and regulatory perspectives is essential for researchers and practitioners. The book’s contents span a wide range of interrelated topics, beginning with metal-mediated epigenetic modifications and toxicodynamics at the molecular and cellular levels. It explores the geochemical and anthropogenic origins of contaminants, factors affecting metal bioavailability, and the synergistic effects of metal-radical interactions. Detailed chapters address the roles of metalloproteins, pathways of bioaccumulation and trophic transfer, transgenerational toxicity, and hidden reservoirs such as soil microaggregates. Advanced analytical methods, the emerging field of toxicometallomics, impacts of metals in agriculture, quantum effects of nanoparticles, and global regulatory frameworks are also thoroughly discussed. The Metallome in Motion: Insights into Ecosystem and Food Chain Toxicodynamics is an essential reference for postgraduate students in food science, as well as academics and researchers in agriculture, plant science, environmental science, and biotechnology. It supports undergraduates, research scholars, and professionals in food processing, government, and regulatory sectors, providing critical knowledge for managing metal toxicity in food chains and protecting the ecosystem and human health.
