Efficacy of some Sudanese Medicinal Plants Extracts to Remove Heavy Metals from Water

Some heavy metals have bio-importance as trace elements but, the biotoxic effects of many of them in human are of great concern.Although several adverse health effects of heavy metals have been known for a long time, exposure to heavy metals continues, and is even increasing in some parts of the wor...
