Abstract :
Environmental pollution is a major concern of current relevance. Contamination with heavy metals is one of the most serious problems in the aquatic environments. Metals are natural trace components of the aquatic environment, but their levels have been increased due to industrial wastes, geochemical structure, agricultural and mining activities. Heavy metals such as As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni, Hg, Cr, and Zn are common pollutants and come from different natural and anthropogenic sources. Metals have been reported to affect cellular organelles and induce toxicity & carcinogenicity. This manuscript, focuses on heavy and toxic metals in the environment, their sources, their harmful effects on terrestrial and aquatic life of this planet and the usage of various adsorbent materials for their removal. Layered double hydroxides are promising adsorbent materials for the removal of heavy and toxic metals from the waste water.

Key-Words / Index Term :
Environmental pollution, heavy/toxic metal ions, layered double hydroxides, sorption
