After a discussion of the definition of bioavailability and its context, focus is placed on the role of risk assessment and bioavailability. Methods of analysis are then discussed including a range of atomic spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques for metal analysis and chromatographic approaches for persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The occurrence, properties and eco-toxicity of POPs and metals in the soil\/sediment environment are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the uptake of POPs and metals by plants (phytoextraction). Examples of POPs and metals in the environment are reviewed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMethods to assess the bioavailability of POPs and metals in the environment are discussed. The particular approaches considered are:\u003c\/p\u003e  *non-exhaustive extraction techniques *single extraction techniques *sequential extraction techniques *use of cyclodextrin and surfactants *in-vitro gastrointestinal methods including physiological-based extraction test *the use of bioasssays including earthworms.  \u003cp\u003eFinally, selected case studies highlight the importance of determining the bioavailability of POPs and metals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45203452821655,"sku":"9780470025789","price":7130.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780470025789.webp?v=1767308083","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bioavailability-bioaccessibility-and-mobility-of-environmental-contaminants-9780470025789","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
