Abstract
There is an urgent need for environmental managers to understand better how to assess bioavailability as it relates to the physicochemical status of biologically-important trace elements in surface waters. As several of the chapters in this volume will show, it should be particularly revealing to improve our knowledge of the natural aquatic associations between trace elements and both true particles and colloids. More and more it is realized that such associations determine much of the specific nature of trace element speciation in surface waters.
