ABSTRACT

The speciation of redox-sensitive elements (e.g., Cr, Fe, and Mn), redox-sensitive elements that also form organometallic compounds (e.g., As), and redox-sensitive elements that also form organometallic and volatile compounds (e.g., Hg) in aquatic systems is discussed in this chapter. Because the scope of this subject is so large, only the dissolved phase in the aquatic system will be considered.
