This work presents the optimisation, validation and field deployment of a voltammetric in situ profiling (VIP) system for simultaneous determinations dynamic Cd(II), Cu(II) Pb(II) estuarine coastal waters. Systematic studies NaNO3 (as supporting electrolyte) seawater, indicated that variations ionic strength, pH dissolved oxygen did not affect response instrument, whereas an Arrhenius type temperature was observed. The VIP instrument allows determination 2–3 samples h−1, has detection limit...
A new generation of speciation-based aquatic environmental quality standards (EQS) for metals have been developed using models to predict the free metal ion concentration, most ecologically relevant form, set site-specific values. Some countries such as U.K. moved toward this approach by setting a estuarine and marine water EQS copper, based on an empirical relationship between copper toxicity mussels (Mytilus sp.) ambient dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations. This assumes inverse...
