critical evaluation of the recent literature .... Metal

Transfer between Solid and Aqueous Phase, by
UForstner, these chapters are the heart of the book,
containing an excellent presentation of the actual concepts for assessing metal pollution from sediment analysis ... .In Heavy Metals in Aquatic Organisms,
F. Prosi discusses the metal enrichment in limnic and
marine organisms, and provides a comprehensive reference list in the appendix .... Trace Metals in Water
