Volume 34 of the series METAL IONS IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS, entitled "Mercury and its Effects on Environment and Biology", covers many upto date multidisciplinary research lines in this area. Speciation of Hg(ll) and CH3Hg(II) compounds and its applications to the determination of mercury in lakes, rivers and marine environment, including boreal surface waters, are the topics of chapters 1 to 4. ...

The reduction mechanism of molybdenum-methyl thymol blue (MTB)-chlorate system has been investigated in water on a mercury electrode. As this system is very sensitive for ultratrace determination of molybdenum, the actual mechanism involved was studied. Electrochemical techniques, including dc tast polarography and cyclic voltammetry were employed. It is shown that, the cathodic wave of mol...

This mini review describes the results regarding the voltammetric determination of micromolar, submicromolar and nanomolar concentrations of various fluoroquinolones antibacterial agents using both traditional hanging mercury drop electrode, carbon paste electrode, glassy carbon paste electrode and chemically modified electrodes. We concentrate on the interaction of quinolones with DNA in solut...
