Metal Toxicity Taking New Forms-Iron Toxicity as an Emerging Threat to Aquatic Biome

Megha S Vinod, Ajay Valiyaveettil Salimkumar

Amongst the various appalling environmental hazards, metal toxicity is one such and is much of a consequential misfortune due to the other many more dreadful causatives or environmental threats like pollution, industrialisation, in humane usage of chemicals and like disasters. Heavy metal toxicity takes many forms out of which iron toxicity is the one which empanelled recently into the environmentalist’s list as it has been revealed that it has taken on to a more severe front in affecting the aquatic beings with its life and sustenance. As said by great human thinkers, every component of environment is crucial for ecosystem balance but, a mere mismatch of its quantity will have major ill-effects too. Iron is one such component whose content is important as a micronutrient but its excessiveness is direful. Hence a control over its usage stands valid.
