Synopsis

Today environmental pollution has permeated every walk of our lives. The effect of Chromium (VI) on the residents of Hinkley, California as highlighted in the movie ‘Erin Brokovich’ and the rampant practice of using industrial waste for irrigation in India motivated the authors to undertake the present study. The book deals with the effect of chromium 6+ on the cytogenetics, morphology and food quality of commonly consumed eight vegetables. It highlights the acquired mutagenicity of the plants as the result of bioaccumulation of this heavy metal in edible parts.
