Speciation analysis applied to environmental issues
It is now well understood that the toxicity and fate of elements in the environment is related to their chemical speciation. Considerable amount of work in the last 20 years as now simplify the analytical procedures and allow now the routine use of monitoring many species of elements in the environment such as Hg, Sn, Cr, As, Cd and Se. The objectives of the course is to review the state of the art in the legislative aspects world wide, review the most effective sample preparation methods and train on hyphenated techniques to determine the different species of Hg, Sn, Cr, As, Cd and Se in all compartments of the environment air, water, soils and sediments and biological tissues.
Finally the course will demonstrate the needs and improvements of introducing speciation measurements to optimise risk/assessments and improved understanding of the fate, transformation and impacts of elements in the environments
