Summary

The different aspects of speciation analysis are reviewed. Species-specific instrumental techniques as well as various speciation schemes are considered for the determination of species of metals and metalloids, including organometallic compounds. The application of the methods are discussed in some detail for the analysis of natural waters, air, soil, sediment and biological samples. The relationship between metal species and bioavailability is also briefly dealt with.
