Biofilm Matrices as Biomonitoring Agent and Biosorbent for Cr(vi) Pollution in Aquatic Ecosystems
Andi Kurniawan
Abstract:<p class="MDPI17abstract"><span>Heavy metal pollution in aquatic ecosystems has become one of the primary environmental problems. Cr(VI) is one of the most toxic and carcinogenic heavy metal pollutants. The degradation of aquatic ecosystems due to the Cr(VI) pollution usually occurs slowly, but the impact is accumulative. Hence, an awareness of the pollution often occurs when the impacts have already in the acute or chronic level. Therefore, the technologies to monitor and to solve the Cr(VI) pollu… Show more
