Organic Metal and Metalloid Species in the Environment : Analysis, Distribution, Processes and Toxicological Evaluation /

Subsequent to the profiling of organometal(loid) compounds in important biogeogenic and anthropogenic deposits, the importance of this class of compounds for human health are evaluated by the analysis of both physicochemical and biological formation, distribution and transformation processes. Multid...
