N2  - The term heavy metal (HM) has a wide range of meanings, and there has been no consistent definition
by any authoritative body such as International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) over the
past 60 years. But over the past 2 decades, this term has been used by numerous publications
and legislations for indicating a group name for metals or semimetals that cause human, phyto,
animal, and also ecotoxicity. Though the imprecise term is defined by several researchers at various
levels including density, atomic number, atomic weight, chemical properties, and toxicity, there is no
connectivity between these properties. Since this chapter deals with bioremediation aspects, HMs causing
human and ecotoxic effects were considered further. Three kinds of HMs are of concern, including
toxic metals (Hg, Cr, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cd, As, Co, Sn, etc.), precious metals (Pd, Pt, Ag, Au, Ru, etc.),
and radionuclides (U, Th, Ra, Am, etc.)...
