Abstract
Contamination by heavy metals and metalloids in water resources, soil, and air is one of the most severe problems that compromise food and water safety and public health globally and locally. Water naturally contains heavy metals; however, its increase, although sometimes also determined by natural enrichment when passing through aquifers containing rocks with a high concentration of this material, is mostly linked to human activity, such as mining and industry, which generates waste such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and chromium, which reach rivers and contaminate groundwater. The danger of heavy metals is greater since they are not chemically or biologically degradable. Once emitted, they can remain in the environment for hundreds of years. In addition, its concentration in living beings increases as they are ingested by others, so the ingestion of contaminated plants or animals can cause symptoms of poisoning. Today we know a great variety of methods and techniques that can be used for the removal of heavy metals from water, each of which shows advantages and disadvantages that must be analyzed. The search for new materials and alternatives for the disinfection of water contaminated with heavy metals, as well as the optimization of those that we know today, is a permanent task for the scientific community.
