Abstract

It is now generally recognised that the form of metal occurrence affects the toxicity, availability and transport mechanisms of different metals. One promising method for measuring trace metal speciation is to separate the various forms chromatographically and detect these by atomic spectroscopy. The suitability of the various atomic spectroscopic techniques is discussed and their coupling to both gas and liquid chromatography reviewed.
