Synopsis

Interest in the topic of chemical speciation has grown markedly since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1995. It is increasingly realised that the distribution, mobility and biological availability of chemical elements depend not simply on their concentrations but, critically, on the forma in which they occur in natural systems. Continuing developments in analytical chemistry have made speciation practicable even where analytes are present at trace levels (as is often the case in natural samples).In the second edition, the expertise of scientists involved in chemical speciation in various fields has been brought together to provide an overview of the current status of speciation science and to indicate how the field may develop in the future. In Part 1, the book deals with methodologies for speciation analysis. Part 2 deals with elemental speciation in particular compartments of the environment. In addition to extensive updates of existing chapters, this new edition includes three new chapters on: quality control, the marine environment and single and sequential soil extraction.

Media Reviews
...this book is highly recommended for a broader scientific readership. It should not only find its place on the bookshelf of analytical chemists and 'speciation researchers' but can also serve as an excellent source of information for environmental scientists outside the specialised community. - Journal of Environmental Monitoring
Author Bio
Dr. A. M. Ure was until recently Head of the Department ofSpectochemistry in the Macaulay Institute for Soil Research inAberdeen, Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Pure and AppliedChemistry in the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow andConsultant to the Bureau Communautaire de R f rence (nowStandard Measurements and Testing Programme) of the EuropeanCommunity, in the development of methods for the preparation ofsoil and sediment Reference Materials. Since his retirement he is aVisiting Researcher at Strathclyde Univesity. He holds the degreesof BSc (Hons) Chemistry, PhD and DSc from the universities, respectively, of St. Andrews, Aberdeen and Strathclyde.

Dr C. M. Davidson is a Senior Lecturer in analyticalchemistry at the University of Strathclyde and leads a researchgroup focussing particularly on the determination of heavy metalsand natural radionuclides. She obtained her BSc (Hons) and PhD fromthe University of Glasgow, and undertook postdoctoral work at theState University of Utrecht, Netherlands, and the ScottishUniversities Research and Reactor Centre.
