Applications and Potentialities of Voltammetry in Environmental Chemistry of Ecotoxic Metals

  • Chapter
Electrochemistry in Research and Development

Abstract

A large and still increasing amount of potentially and actually hazardous chemicals is emitted from a variety of anthropogenic sources into the environment. Among these environmental chemicals a number of heavy metals and some metalloids have gained particular significance with respect to their ecotoxicity[1,2]. Some metals, e.g. Cd, Pb, Hg and As (III), have a significant toxicity per se and constitute thus always an ecotoxic risk, if they are abundant in an ecosystem above their natural base levels. Other metals, e.g. Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Se have for plants, organisms and man indispensable essential functions below threshold levels, which depend on the metal and organism, but will also exert toxic effects above the respective threshold levels[1,3,6,].
