Overview

Metal Speciation and Bioavailability in Aquatic Systems is thefirst comprehensive review to deal with fundamental concepts andmodels, speciation measurements and field applications in metalspeciation and bioavailability in aquatic environments. This volumeprovides a thorough review of current developments concerning theinteractions between trace metals and aquatic organisms. MetalSpeciation and Bioavailability in Aquatic Systems provides: * The first comprehensive approach to the subject covering allaspects of trace metal ecotoxicology in the environment. * Essential reading for researchers and graduate students who willappreciate critical reviews of classical and modern methods ofmetal speciation. * Contributions from leading scientists from many disciplinesassessing both analytical and physical methods applied to thisgrowing field of environmental analysis. * An introduction to the use of laboratory bioassays as predictivetools for understanding trace metal organism interactions. * An examination of the use and limitations of bioassays inmanagement decisions. The interdisciplinary nature of this topic is highlighted in MetalSpeciation and Bioavailability in Aquatic Systems, ensuring thatthis volume is invaluable for chemists, biochemists, biologists,ecologists and environmental engineers involved in the fields ofmetal ecotoxicology, metal speciation, environmental and analyticalchemistry, and the management of trace metals in aquatic systems.
