Abstract
The speciation of lead in environmental and biological samples is reviewed. After a brief outline of the occurrence, chemical transformations and impact of lead species, attention is turned to the various aspects of the analytical chemistry of lead speciation. Sampling, storage and pretreatment methods for water, air, solid and biological samples are discussed before an assessment of currently used analytical techniques and lead speciation schemes is made. Attempts have been directed towards critically choosing the most significant contributions to this subject area, to aid the interested analytical chemist in the selection of the most suitable approaches to lead speciation and to provide a guide to the literature. Further information is readily available in several books[1.][2.][3.][4.][5.] and review articles[6.][7.][8.][9.][10.][11.][12.][13.][14.][15.][16.][17.] which provide a much broader and more comprehensive coverage of published work.
