Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction to the general chemistry of metals with particular emphasis on their role in biology and toxicology. This is followed by a description of aspects of analytical chemistry relevant to trace element analysis. Because total elemental analysis is strongly complemented by sophisticated metal speciation and fractionation analyses, information is also given about useful strategies in sampling and sample preparation, followed by separation techniques and detection methods for elemental species. Finally, the important topics of calibration and quality assurance strategies are also discussed.
