Enzymatic Method for Heavy Metals Determination in Waters and Soils

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAIV,volume 5))

Abstract

The determination of heavy metals traces has an increasing importance in environmental analysis. Instrumental methods for heavy metals determination are highly sensitive and selective, but most of them are fairly complicated and require using specialized and expensive equipment. Enzymatic methods are characterized by simple device, experimental techniques and extremely proposing for environmental monitoring.
