Description
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.

"This book provides broad coverage of the different aspects of theanalysis of elemental species..." (Journal of the AmericanChemistry Society, 2004 Vol. 126) "...a welcome contribution to the literature...will provide auseful insight..." (Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Vol 23(4),April 2004) "...the reader can use this book as a reference book for thenext 5 to 10 years.." (Applied Organmettallic Chemistry, Jan2004) "...a long-awaited high-quality handbook...will be of greatvalue in both academia and industry." (Angewandte Chemie, Vol.43,No.42, 25th October 2004) "Each chapter, written by an expert on the field, is a standalone reference...an excellent introductory text" (InternationalJournal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry 2004) "...provides an excellent compendium of information on all theimportant methods of speciation analysis..." (Analytical &Bioanalytical Chemistry, No.380, 2004) "...this is a long-awaited high-quality handbook for speciationanalysis ...(and) has the potential to become one of the mostfrequently used books in the personal shelves of specialists in thefield and teachers of analytical chemistry!"
