The effects of Environmental Toxic Metals on human health have long been
known and the literature dealing with the subject is immense. The analysis of
pollutants by using suitable complexing agent is centered on the development of
sensitive technique for detection, determination and remove of contaminants
from polluted air, water and land. In view of the importance of Azomethine
compounds in pharmaceutical as well as industry, the immobilized polymeric
reagents for various analytical analysis, the studies mainly focused on the
synthesis of new polymeric reagents for anchoring different Azomethine ligands
to polymer matrix. The new polymeric reagents by linking Azomethines to
different polymers (Polymer Anchored Azomethines) will be used for Extraction
of toxic metal ions (Inorganic pollutants) present in Industrial effluents. The
nature and amount can be understood in environmental trace chemistry of
pollutants by employing advanced instrumental methods.
