Considerable recent research has focused on the topic of chemical
speciation in the environment. It is increasingly realised that the
distribution, mobility and biological availability of chemical
elements depend not simply on their concentrations but, critically,
on the forms in which they occur in natural systems. Continuing
developments in analytical chemistry have made speciation
practicable even where analytes are present at trace levels (as is
often the case in natural samples).
In the second edition of this book, the expertise of scientists involved in chemical speciation in various fields have been brought together to provide an overview of the current status of speciation science and indicate how the field may develop in the future.
