Acknowledgments Free

This is the opportunity to express my thanks and gratitude to my friends, colleagues, supporters and well wishers and to let them know that I am so grateful to have had them, and their valuable cooperation, along with me during the journey of this book—Heavy Metals in Water: Presence, Removal and Safety.

First of all I express my special thanks to all the esteemed contributors, who deserve special mention for providing their writings, without which this book could not be possible.

I sincerely acknowledge my parents Dr M.P. Sharma and Mrs Parmeshwari Devi, my wife Dr Pratima Sharma and all other family members for their never-ending encouragement, moral support and patience during the course of this book.

I acknowledge the active interest and useful suggestions from Ackmez Mudhoo, University of Mauritius, Mauritius. Thanks Ackmez!

I also thank Mr Amit Agarwal and Mr Arpit Agarwal (Vice Chairpersons, JECRC University, Jaipur) and Professor S.S. Pabla (Vice Chancellor, JECRC University, Jaipur) for their appreciation and encouragement.

My children Kunal and Kritika always deserve special mention as they are my best companions, who energize me to work with refreshed mood and motivation.

Special thanks go to the team at the Royal Society of Chemistry behind this publication, without whose painstaking efforts this work could not have been completed in a timely manner. Thanks RSC!

I am also grateful to many others whose name I have not been able to mention but whose association and support has in no way been any less.
