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