ABSTRACT
Inorganic toxins, unlike organics, are not bio-degradable and hence
build up in the environment. The importance of trace analysis in
toxin monitoring and the essential criteria for selecting suitable
analytical technique are described in this chapter. Toxicity of a
certain inorganic toxin depends on the existence of a particular form
or specie in the environment, which generates the notion about the
importance of chemical speciation in environmental analysis. The
