Elemental Speciationedited by
Joseph A. Caruso, Karen L. Sutton and Kathryn L. Ackley
Elsevier, 2000, 612 pages (ISBN 0444500472 )
This book provides a comprehensive discussion of the major aspects
involved in elemental speciation. Sample preparation, separation
techniques, instrumentation and quality assurance are all discussed. In
addition, individual chapters are devoted to speciation of
environmental samples and speciation of biological, clinical, and
nutritional samples. Individual chapters are written by leaders in the
field, and the book has been organized so that the reader may learn how
to collect a sample and prepare it. Ways to separate and detect
analytes of interest, and steps to take to ensure the validity of the
measurements are also discussed.
Actinide Speciation in High Ionic Strength Media
Experimental and Modeling Approaches to Predicting Actinide Speciation and Migration in the Subsurface
edited by Donald T. Reed, Sue B. Clark and Rao Linfeng
Kluwer, 1999, 278 pages (ISBN: 0-306-46185-4)
This proceedings, based on an American Chemical Society symposium
entitled `Experimental and Modeling Studies of Actinide Speciation in
Non-Ideal Systems', deals with the management and disposal of
radioactive waste. More specifically, it concerns modeling and
experimental approaches for actinide chemistry in high ionic strength
media, including general aspects of actinide chemistry in high-level
nuclear waste and environmental systems, and the special problems of
actinide behavior in concentrated electrolytes and/or alkaline
conditions.
Royal Society of Chemistry, 1998, xxii+272
(ISBN 0 85404 467 1)
Considering the high number of analyses performed by a wide
range of EC laboratories, the SM&T programme (formerly BCR) of the
European Commission has launched collaborative projects to improve the
state-of-the-art of speciation analysis in Europe. Method Performance
Studies for Speciation Analysis presents an overview of these recent
studies. As well as discussion of the techniques used, their
performance as applied to real-case analyses and possible sources of
error, the preparation of Certified Reference Materials for the
validation of methods used is also described.
Element Speciation in Bioinorganic Chemistryedited by
Sergio Caroli
John Wiley & Sons, 1996, 474 pages
(ISBN: 0-471-57641-7)
The book consists of contributions by a truly international
group of leading authorities on element speciation in bioinorganic
chemistry discussing the various methods and applications of
speciation, exploring specific analytical methods, such as direct,
chromatographic and non-chromatographic methods, as well as
nuclear-based and voltammetric methods. Others cover speciation in
various natural water and marine environments and its manifestation in
biological materials, human serum, or foodstuff. In addition, the book
examines speciation theory and legal aspects as well as questions of
quality and sources of errors.
Metal Contaminated Aquatic Sediments
edited by Herbert E. Allen
CRC Press, 1996, 292 pages (ISBN: 1575040107)
This book comprises ten papers from the Workshop on Metal
Speciation and Contamination of Aquatic Sediments held on Jekyll
Island, Georgia in June 1993. Among the topics are a global perspective
on metals and sediments in fresh water, modeling transport and reaction
in metal cycling, determining the redox status, adsorption and
desorption rates, the effects of bioturbation on particle transport,
and the Environmental Protection Agency's management strategy
Metal Speciation and Bioavailability in Aquatic Systems,edited by
André Tessier and David R. Turner
John Wiley & Sons, 1995, 696 pages (ISBN: 0-471-95830-1)
Metal Speciation and Bioavailability in Aquatic Systems is the
first comprehensive review to deal with fundamental concepts and
models, speciation measurements and field applications in metal
speciation and bioavailability in aquatic environments. This volume
provides a thorough review of current developments concerning the
interactions between trace metals and aquatic organisms. Contributions
from leading scientists from many disciplines are discussing both
analytical and physical methods applied to this growing field of
environmental analysis. It also contains an introduction to the use of
laboratory bioassays as predictive tools for understanding trace metal
organism interactions and an examination of the use and limitations of
bioassays in management decisions.
Quality assurance for environmental analysis
Elsevier, 1995, 670 pages (ISBN 0-444-89955-3)
The techniques used in different analytical fields (inorganic,
speciation and organic analysis) are critically reviewed (i.e.
discussion of advantages and limitations) and existing tools for
evaluating their performance are described (e.g. interlaboratory
studies, use of certified reference materials). Particular reference is
made to the activities of the Measurements and Testing Programme (BCR)
of the European Commission towards the improvement of quality control
of environmental analysis.
