Selenium species, particularly the oxyanions selenite (SeO3 2−) and selenate (SeO4 2−),
are significant pollutants in the environment that leach from rocks and are released by …

Analytical methods for determination of selenium depend on whether the selenium
compound is a nonpolar, volatile molecule or an ionizable, relatively polar molecule. The …

In this chapter organometallic compounds are defined as those which have a carbon to
metal single sigma bond polarized M δ+− C δ−(some useful sources are listed in the …

A multiplicity of physico-chemical and biological mechanisms determine the removal of toxic
metals, metalloids and radionuclides from contaminated wastes. Physico-chemical …

Selenium exists in several oxidation states and a variety of inorganic and organic
compounds, and the chemistry of selenium is complex in both the environment and living …

Tellurium is usually present at very low concentrations in environmental samples, which
makes it a challenging element to measure in complex matrices. It exists mainly as Te (IV) …

Selenium (Se) exists in many natural soil and water environments around the world, but
anthropological activities such as irrigated agriculture on Se-laden soils has created many …

The essential nature of selenium as well as its toxicity depend on the concentration and the
chemical forms in which this element is present in a given sample. Dissolved inorganic …

A Gram‐negative bacterium, identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia by fatty acid
