Liquid Chromatography Element-specific Detection Systems for Analysis of Molecular Species
Systems for the separation of inorganic compounds of environmental interest are described. They consist of a high-pressure liquid chromatograph... -
The Dependence of Toxic Reactions on the Chemical Species of Elements
A distinction is made between the toxicology of metal and metalloid elements which form stable oxyanions and those which do not. As examples of the... -
Importance and Determination of Chemical Species in Biological Systems
Biological systems constantly synthesize, change, and degrade organic and inorganic chemical species. These processes and the interactions among... -
Importance of Chemical Species in Uptake, Loss, and Toxicity of Elements for Marine Organisms
The influence of chemical species on the uptake and the toxicity of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, I, Hg, Ru, and Zn is reviewed in this paper. Experiments in... -
Chemical Species in Seawater and Marine Particulates
In recent years analytical techniques have become available which make it possible to identify individual chemical species in seawater and marine... -
Evidence for the presence of arsenobetaine as a major arsenic compound in the shrimpSergestes lucens
The major arsenic compound in the shrimp Sergestes lucens was isolated and identified as arsenobetaine (CH 3 ) 3 A
S + CH 2 COO − . Arsenobetaine accounted... -
Alteichin: an unusual phytotoxin fromAlternaria eichorniae, a fungal pathogen of water hyacinth
The phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria eichorniae attacks water hyacinth, an economically significant aquatic weed. The novel phytotoxin alteichin was...

Phytoplankton Solved the Arsenate-Phosphate Problem
Phosphate is so effectively consumed by photosynthetic activity in surface waters of much of the ocean that its concentration diminishes to that of... -
Arsenic
Since ancient times, arsenicals have been characterized by actions both benevolent and malevolent. The sulfides of arsenic—realgar (tetraarsenic... -
The Relationships Between Metal Speciation in the Environment and Bioaccumulation in Aquatic Organisms
Recent advances in methodology have resulted in a much better understanding of the speciation of metals in natural waters. However, despite the... -
Standard Setting and Metal Speciation: Arsenic
Environmental quality standards are usually based upon concentrations of metals as such, not taking into account essential differences in... -
Dimethyloxarsylethanol from anaerobic decomposition of brown kelp (Ecklonia radiata): A likely precursor of arsenobetaine in marine fauna
The novel arsenic compound, dimethyloxarsylethanol, has been isolated from anaerobically incubated Ecklonia radiata . It is proposed that this compound...
