This book presents new results on metal fluxes from society to the environment, on metal speciation in water, soil and sediment, and its interpretation in terms of mobility, biological uptake and toxicity. The scientific fundamentals of new approaches, like the Acid Volatile Sulphide (AVS) concept to predict metal bioavailability in sediments, and the Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) to calculate the toxicity of metals to aquatic organisms, are critically evaluated, with a focus on copper, nickel, zinc, and, in part, chromium...Recent scientific advances now offer an improved understanding of the mechanisms and factors controlling the intricate behaviour of trace metals, their interactions, uptake and effect in natural systems. Traditional risk assessment methods usually built on quite crude toxicity tests done in unrealistic "laboratory waters", and did not consider natural conditions. In contrast, modern approaches now increasingly invol | 出版日期 | Book 2004 | 关键词 | Bioavailability; Megal Fluxes; Risk Assessment; Speciation; Toxicity; ecosystem; ecosystems; environment; ec | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-2742-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4020-2741-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-2742-0Series ISSN 1566-0745 Series E-ISSN 2215-1702 | issn_series | 1566-0745 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2004 |
