International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Division Commission on Microchemical Techniques and Trace Analysis* Working Group on Speciation2 Phosphorus Speciation in Water and Sediments

Environmentally signi®cant phosphorus species in water and phosphorus fractions in sediments are brie ̄y discussed and the methods for their determination are described. One of the most critical analytical steps is the separation of the different forms which, after conversion into orthophosphates, may be determined by a multitude of various techniques. Spectrophotometric methods are often prefer...

Analytical Chemistry Division Commission on Microchemical Techniques and Trace Analysis* Working Group on Speciation? Determination of Arsenic Species in Environmental and Biological Samples

Identification and quantitative determination methods of arsenic species in environmental and biological samples are discussed. Isolation followed by molecular spectroscopic determination is necessary for rigorous identification while element-specific detections coupled with separation techniques are the choice for quantitative determination. Analytical figures of merit are given for the method...
