A knowledge of the chemical structure and concentration oforganometal compounds throughout the ecosystem is important inworking out the pathways and mechanisms by which metals distributethemselves throughout the environment. Treating the topic as anintegrated subject area, the Second Edition of OrganometallicCompounds in the Environment covers all the recent developmentsin analytical techniques and reports all the new work that has beenachieved since the first book.
* Covers the general importance and characteristics oforganometallic species.
* Includes general developments in analytical techniques.
* Discusses several minority elements including antimony andselenium.
The book addresses the subject in a single, manageable size andeach chapter can be used either as a single review or sequentiallywithin the topic area. A useful resource for all researchersand scientists in industry working with organometallic compounds,including, chemists, environmentalists and ecologists.
