In the second edition of Chemical Speciation in the Environment, the expertise of scientists involved in chemical speciation in various fields have been brought together to provide the current status of speciation science, and indicate how the field may develop in the future.

The book is divided into two parts, the first dealing with methodology, including the use of quality control. The second part of the book outlines speciation in various compartments of the environment.
