The coverage discusses the environmental behavior and toxicological effects of mercury on organisms, including humans, and provides case studies at the end of each chapter. Bringing together information normally spread across several books, this text is unique in covering the entire mercury cycle and providing a baseline for what is known and what uncertainties remain in respect to mercury cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cb\u003ePREFACE xiii\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS xv\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTRIBUTORS xvii\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 OVERVIEW OF MERCURY IN THE ENVIRONMENT 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eGuangliang Liu, Yong Cai, Nelson O’Driscoll, Xinbin Feng, and Guibin Jiang\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Introduction \/ 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Toxicity and Health Risks of Mercury Exposure \/ 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Sources of Mercury \/ 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Overview of Mercury Biogeochemical Cycling \/ 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 Structure of the Book \/ 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.6 Concluding Remarks \/ 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences \/ 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART I ANALYTICAL DEVELOPMENTS 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 ADVANCES IN SPECIATION ANALYSIS OF MERCURY IN THE ENVIRONMENT 15\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eYanbin Li, Yongguang Yin, Guangliang Liu, and Yong Cai\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Introduction \/ 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Sample Preparation for Hg Speciation in Environmental Samples \/ 16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Application of GC Technique in Hg Speciation Analysis \/ 32\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 Application of HPLC Technique in Hg Speciation Analysis \/ 36\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.5 Application of Capillary Electrophoresis Techniques in Hg Speciation Analysis \/ 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.6 Application of X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy in Probing Chemical Microenvironment of Hg \/ 40\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.7 Application of Stable Isotope Dilution Technique in Mercury Speciation Analysis \/ 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.8 Summary \/ 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences \/ 44\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 MEASURING GAS PHASE MERCURY EMISSIONS FROM INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS 59\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eSamuel J.

The chapters focus on the fundamental science underlying the environmental chemistry and fate of mercury. This work will be invaluable to a wide range of policy experts, environmental scientists, and other people requiring a comprehensive source for the state of the science in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989143961829,"sku":"NP9780470578728","price":167.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470578728.jpg?v=1761782975","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/environmental-chemistry-and-toxicology-of-mercury-isbn-9780470578728","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
