This international collection of chapters comprehensively covers
different aspects of procedures for speciation analysis at all
levels starting from sample collection and storage, through sample
preparation approaches to render the species chromatographable,
principles of separation techniques used in speciation analysis, to
the element specific detection.
* International renowned editors and contributors
* Includes coverage of electrochemical methods, biosensors for
metal ions, radioisotope techniques and direct solid speciation
techniques
* Provides information on quality assurance and risk assessment,
and speciation-relevant legislation
Each chapter is a stand-alone reference covering a given facet
of elemental speciation analysis written by an expert in a given
field with the volume as a whole providing an excellent
introductory text and reference handbook.
