Chemical Species in Freshwater and Terrestrial Systems

Group Report

  • Conference paper
The Importance of Chemical “Speciation” in Environmental Processes

Part of the book series: Dahlem Workshop Reports ((DAHLEM LIFE,volume 33))

Abstract

Group discussions were limited to metals and certain metalloids, except that N, P, and S were considered in the broader topic of biogeochemical cycles. In many instances, the statements concerning metals are also applicable to many, or even most, other elements. However, our discussions were focused on the metals and metalloids because of their major importance as environmental pollutants.
