Lead continues to amaze us in a variety of ways. The more we learn, the more we are amazed, or more like it, obsessed! Even though we might think that we know the element quite well, the fact is that more research must be conducted to support its subtle behaviors and effects. The most obvious aspect is the effects of lead on health. Because lead is still in use today, we have to understand the effects of lead on our metabolisms. In addition, more and more compounds of lead have been continuously synthesized and their properties and behaviors are required with the help from a variety of scientific disciplines. To provide information for newcomers, especially students or even the public, the overview of lead effects has been included in this book. Despite the variety of lead aspects the book might seem to contain, at least some topics should suit readers? interests. The rest, meaning the contents for new books, depends on how fast you can take the benefits out of this book!

"Volume 24 provides information on the metals, ceramics, and polymers used in additive manufacturing (AM) and how they respond to the transformative forces and energies applied over the course of production. It covers all commercially relevant processes including vat polymerization, material jetting, powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, binder jetting, material extrusion, and sheet lamination. It describes the production and characterization of powders, resins, and slurries, and the mechanisms by which they are transformed into solid structures and shapes. It explains how subtle differences in the shape, size, or surface chemistry of metal powders can have a profound effect on part quality, and how AM processed materials such as stainless steels, nickel-base superalloys, tool steels, cemented carbides, copper alloys, and precious metals compare with conventionally produced alloys. It discusses safe powder handling techniques, process modeling and simulation, material and manufacturing defects, post-processing, and in-line process monitoring and control. It also covers direct-write processes including microdispensing, aerosol jetting, thermal metal embedding, and laser-induced forward transfer."-- ASM Handbooks Online website, viewed on April 18, 2022.

It is often said that the "dosage" of any substance determines its remedy or poison effect. Heavy metal sources encompass sewage, pesticides, fertilizers, environmental contamination, occupational exposure/contact through inhalation, ingestion, and skin. Before the advent of technology/the industrial revolution, communicable diseases ravaged the human race but this seems to have given way to non-communicable diseases such as cancers, renal failure, hormonal distortion enzymes, inhibition of fetal growth, and DNA damage causing negative health issues due to heavy metals. This book brings to the fore probably the most recent experimental research/review on heavy metal contamination, remediating techniques, cellular tissue damage, and toxicological and antioxidant effects of heavy metals. It is hoped that its contents will make interesting reading for all.
