The objective of this chapter is to discuss the role of speciation for interactions and uptake at
biological interphases. Both organic chemicals and metals will be considered in order to …

The interaction of inorganic species with membranes can play a significant role in their
biological effects. To the extent that membranes prevent the entry of these species into cells …

Accomplishing the act of balancing our technological progress with the accompanying risks
for safety and health in our life quality, calls for modern analytical science. It should serve as …

Biological interest in trace element speciation has tended to be polarised in very different
ways according to the concerns of the investigators. Much of the ecological interest has …

A short review concerning the role of organic matter on metal toxicity and bio‐availability in
aqueous systems is carried out. The complexity of the issue derives both from the high …

The cathodic (reduction) and anodic (oxidation) waves of different heavy metal ions (Cu, Cd,
In, Pb, Tl) were investigated in the presence of the non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100 and …

Element speciation determines the different forms a chemicalelement can take within a
given compound, enabling chemists topredict possible ramifications for the environment and …

The study of the status of metals in aqueous solutions is of considerable interest in
numerous fields, such as ecology, oceanography, chemistry, water treatment, ore genesis …

Speciation of trace elements is a relatively new field and it was in toxicology that the
relationship between the chemical form of a metal and its harmful effects was first …
