Sommario/riassunto

Part of the IUPAC Series on Analytical and Physical Chemistry of Environmental Systems, this book collects and integrates current knowledge of the chemical mechanisms, kinetics, transport and interactions involved in processes at biological interfaces in environmental systems. Provides important, current knowledge for environmental scientists and related fieldsHighlights key directions for future researchFollows on from a previous title in the series, Metal Speciation and Bioavailability in Aquatic SystemsWritten by internationally renowned editors and authors Kin
