Speciation analysis is a field of trace element analytical chemistry that deals with detection, identification and determination of individual chemical forms of metals and metalloids. There has been increased awareness of the importance of elemental speciation over the last 20 years and this has lead to growing demand for analytical techniques capable of providing species-specific information. Hyphenated Techniques in Speciation Analysis offers a brief but comprehensive overview of hyphenated techniques and their various applications for the determination of chemical forms of trace elements. It brings a succinct presentation of the concept of speciation analysis, gives an overview of techniques based on coupling of chromatography with element and molecule specific detection and summarises their applications in the fields of environmental and industrial chemistry, biochemistry, nutrition, toxicology and medicine. Fully referenced, Hyphenated Techniques in Speciation Analysis is an invaluable introduction to elemental speciation analysis and also provides a practising analyst with a critical overview of research carried out in the field.
This book investigates current trends in chemometrics, proteomics, column technology, and element-selective detection for pharmaceutical, medical, industrial, and environmental applications. It offers recent strategies to evaluate and assess materials in air, water, soil, and landfill samples, to determine the amount of hydrocarbons in the atmosphe

Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Volume 12 focuses on the advancements of processes, technologies, automation, and applications of analytical chemistry. The selection first offers information on single-cell analysis at the level of a single human erythrocyte and micellar catalysis in reaction-rate methods. Topics include analytical strategies, analysis of single erythrocytes, kinetic aspects of micellar catalysis, and micellar kinetic multicomponent determination. The text then takes a look at advances in the field of laser atomic spectroscopy and molecular recognition of sugars, including detection of sugar complexation, driving force and selectivity of sugar complexation, atomization/excita...
In the current edition, Selenium: Its Molecular Biology and Role in Human Health expands extensively on the previous editions providing readers with the most significant advances in the rapidly developing selenium field. Evidence from epidemiology and veterinary science supports the essential role of selenium in (human) health, but its split personality in both preventing and supporting cancer and also in promoting insulin resistance has become more clearly defined. The pivotal role of glutathione peroxidase 4 in a new process of programmed cell death, ferroptosis, brings new impetus to the field. Recently defined mutations in selenoprotein and biosynthesis factor genes have been identified ...
Environmental pollution is one of the main problems to confront humanity, with the heavy metals occupying a leading role among the most pernicious pollutants. The metals cause cancer and other sicknesses. Their cytotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic potentials are not fully understood, and any thorough investigation demands the combined efforts of scientists drawn from many different disciplines. But the effects of heavy metals are not all negative: some, like cis-DDP, and some ruthenium and tin complexes, have antitumour activity. The idea underlying the present work is therefore to present a multidisciplinary perspective on heavy metals in the environment, affording a better understanding of their action on human organisms and health, aiming to make them less polluting and more environmentally friendly.
Sublime Lead traces the worldwide history of lead from its formation into ore bodies exploited by classical Greece and Rome as silver sources to the current debate over how to fund its removal and remediation in our built environment and mining debris. The text deftly combines science and humanities together, and provides the reader a chance to learn about the vast history of lead from a variety of viewpoints.
This book presents an authoritative review of analytical methods used for diagnostics, medical therapy and for forensic purposes. Divided into 4 parts, the book discusses new challenges in bioanalytics, covers bioanalysis as a source of clinical, pharmaceutical and forensic information, explores natural resources as a source of biologically active compounds, and offers new analytical strategies and equipment solutions. Written by interdisciplinary expert academics, this work will appeal to a wide readership of students, researchers and professionals interested in the fields of medicine, chemistry, pharmaceutical, life and health sciences, engineering and environmental protection. Clinicians and employees of forensic laboratories will also find this work instructive and informative.
