Most metal analyses performed are for total concentration of metals present in the sample; however, metals do exist as different compounds and/or in different oxidation states. These different forms, or species, can affect toxicity, bioavailability and mobility of metals in the environment. This discussion focuses on analytical methods that can be used to measure the different species of arsenic and mercury.
