Chemical Speciation & Bioavailability

Chemical Speciation & Bioavailability covers a rapidly expanding area in environmental science. Research on the interactions between the chemical forms and behaviour of toxic compounds and their subsequent biological uptake, metabolism and ecological fate involves many scientific fields. These studies are often published in discipline-specific journals, leading to inadequate review and information scatter. This situation hinders both the development of an international community of experienced colleagues and the open flow of information and discussion.

The importance of speciation and bioavailability research to the development of pollution law and control technologies is being increasingly appreciated by environmental regulatory agencies throughout the world. Besides improving our understanding of fundamental natural processes, results from this research can often be applied to pressing environmental problems such as toxic waste and human health risk assessment. Chemical Speciation and Bioavailability presents papers in an interdisciplinary forum that explore the chemical, physical, biological and ecological effects of chemical species in the environment. Analytical, legal, and engineering aspects of these species are also considered.

Chemical Speciation & Bioavailability is proud to present papers the results of which can often be applied to pressing environmental problems.
