Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions describes the basic and essential applications of quantitative structure–activity relationships (QSARs) for regulatory or industrial scientists who need to predict metal ion bioactivity. It includes 194 QSARs that have been used to predict metal ion toxicity and 86 QSARs that have been used to predict metal ion bioconcentration biosorption and binding. It is an excellent sourcebook for academic industrial and government scientists and policy makers and provides a wealth of information on the biological and chemical activities of metal ions as they impact health and the environment. Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions was designed for regulatory and regulated organizations that need to use QSARs to predict metal ion bioactivity as they now do for organic chemicals. It has the potential to eliminate resources to test the toxicity of metal ions or to promulgate regulations that require toxicity testing of metal ions because the book illustrates how to construct QSARs to predict metal ion toxicity. In addition the book:Provides a historical perspective and introduction to developing QSARs for metal ionsExplains the electronic structures and atomic parameters of metals essential to understanding differences in chemical properties that influence cation toxicity bioconcentration biosorption and bindingDescribes the chemical properties of metals that are used to develop QSARs for metal ionsIllustrates the descriptors needed to develop metal ion-ligand binding QSARsDiscusses 280 QSARs for metal ions Explains the differences between QSARs for metal ions and Biotic Ligand ModelsLists the regulatory limits of metals and provides examples of regulatory applicationsIllustrates how to construct QSARs for metal ionsDr. John D.

Instrumental Methods in Metal Ion Speciation The knowledge of metal ion speciation is essential for predicting the exact toxicities of metal ion species in the environment. Metal ions can exist in various oxidation states each of which possesses different physical and chemical properties as well as exhibit varying toxicities. Often toxicity data is unreliable because it is based on metal ion concentration measurements that fail to identify a dominant species either more or less harmful than the average. Instrumental Methods in Metal Ion Speciation provides analytical techniques and experimental methodologies for determining the concentration of the different physicochemical forms of metal ions in environmental and biological samples leading to more accurate measurements of actual toxicity. The authors introduce the principles of metal ion speciation and discuss important analytical techniques such as gas and liquid chromatography capillary electrophoresis and both electrochemical and radiochemical methods used to determine concentration and composition. They present a range of liquid chromatographic approaches including capillary electrochromatography and high-performance ion ion pair micellar electrokinetic size exclusion chiral and supercritical fluid chromatographies for all metal ion species. Comprehensive in scope the text covers the sources distribution toxicity biotransformation and biodegradation of each metal ions species as well as extraction methods sample preparation and experimental optimization techniques that can be useful in designing future experiments. Instrumental Methods in Metal Ion Speciation is a unique and valuable source of reference for scientists academics and researchers involved in analytical biological pharmaceutical and environmental chemistries as well as material industries geochemistry agriculture biotechnology and occupational safety and regulations.
