PREFACE
It is presently well recognized that total concentrations of trace
elements in any environmental compartment supply insufficient information
to understand important phenomena. The distinction and separate analysis
of specific chemical species are essential for understanding cycles in the
aquatic environment, involving identification and quantification of
sources, transport pathways, distributions and sinks, or, in the area of
interactions between trace elements and organisms to understand uptake,
distribution, excretion mechanisms and effects.
In the past, various ways have been developed to determine the nature
and extent of complexation of trace elements in natural systems.
Approaches have been followed along very different lines. These have not
always been fully appreciated by specialists working in even related
fields of complexation research.
The first International Symposium on the Complexation of Trace metals
in Natural Waters was held at the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research
(NIOZ, Texel, the Netherlands from 2-6 May 1983. The scientific programme
was planned by the chief organizers Drs. C.J.M. Kramer and J.C. Duinker (NIOZ)
together with Prof. Dr. H.W. Nurnberg (Kernforschungsanlage, Julich,
Federal Republic of Germany) and Dr. M. Branica (Rudjer Boskovic Institute,
Zagreb, Yugoslavia).
In this symposium it was tried to bring together a number of specialists
representing the main lines of approach, with the goal to evaluate the
analytical techniques and theoretical approaches with respect to complexation
of trace elements and complexing capacity in natural waters. The programme
was structured as follows: 13 specialists were invited to prepare and
X
present papers on subjects suggested by the organizers. Other contributions
were presented as full papers or as posters, the latter in combination
with short oral presentations. The distinction between oral presentations
and posters was made as to obtain a balanced coverage of subjects within
the time available.
It has been attampted to discuss and to compare the main techniques
and approaches, such as electrochemical- (Differential pulse anodic
stripping voltammetry and ion selective electrodes), chromatographic-,
biological response-, solubilization-, ion exchange-, Mno adsorption-,
2
dialysis-, kinetic spectroscopic- and fluorescence quenching techniques.
Several papers deal with the application to natural waters, theoretical
approaches include modelling, kinetics of complexation and adsorption
phenomena. Some papers cover the interaction with particles, others deal
with the biological response of different organisms or the effects of the
exudates, the interaction of trace metals with naturally occurring organics
concern the complexation with humic- and fulvic acids and amino acids.
This volume contains six parts in which we tried to combine papers of
common interest:
- Techniques
- Theoretical approach
- Application to natural waters
- Interaction with particles
- Biological response
The organizers and editors want to express their gratitude to all
participants for their involvement in the lively discussions, the results
of which are reflected in the final form of various papers; to the invited
speakers for their willingness to respond to the requests of the organizers
to include specific subjects and approaches, and in several cases to
accept a title that they would not have selected themselves; to all authors
for keeping to the extremely tight time schedule for finalizing the papers,
allowing completion of this work within a year after the symposium; to the
Netherlands Institute for Sea Research for the hospitality and logistic
and financial support; to the Royal Netherlands Academy for Arts and
Sciences and the Commission of the European Communities, Directorate
