This Handbook explores elemental species in both living and
non-living systems. It is of interest to a wide range of
scientists, including analytical chemists, biochemists,
toxicologists, clinicians and environmental scientists in academia,
government laboratories and industry. Those involved in regulatory
or legislative activities will find it to be a source of relevant
information. It is also intended to be a comprehensive database for
students in these disciplines.
The analytical methodology has been the subject of Volume 1 of
this Handbook. This second volume covers in great detail the
various species of 21 elements, of the actinides and of four groups
of compounds (halogens, volatile metal compounds of biogenic
origin, metal complexes of humic substances and metal complexes of
proteins) within four key areas: environment, food, occupation and
clinical health. Chapters on modelling of trace element species in
the environment, food, health and disease illustrate the power of
modern chemometric techniques in describing the behaviour of
elemental species in complicated systems.
Elemental speciation is a relatively young discipline and as a
consequence, the fundamental knowledge is sometimes fragmentary and
incomplete. Thus, each contribution is a stand-alone reference,
written by a recognized expert in the field, aiming to be as
informative as possible.
The information contained in the two volumes of this Handbook
provides a state-of-the-art introduction to this young and exciting
scientific domain. The editors hope it will constitute a
stimulating basis for further research.
