Chronic Toxicity Of Heavy Metal

 CONCLUSION
• Current Scenario
• Uncertainty Of Health Risks And Legislation
• Advanced Yet Unnoticed Approaches For Remediation
• Challenges In Environmental Regulations For Heavy Metal Pollution
• Conceptual Implication For Management Of Heavy Metal Contamination
• Heavy Metal And Metalloid Risks In Bangladesh Are Associated Mainly With
Mining, Industrialization, And Urbanization
