Chemical Speciation and Metallomics

Adv Exp Med Biol. 2018:1055:183-211. doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-90143-5_8.

Abstract

Chemical speciation approaches is an inherent part of metallomics, once metals/metalloids and organic structures need to be currently evaluated for attaining metallomics studies. Then, this chapter focuses on the applications of the chemical speciation applied to the human health risk, food and human diet, drugs, forensic, nanoscience, and geological metallomics, also pointing out the advances in such area. Some aspects regarding sample preparation is commented along this chapter, and some strategies for maintaining the integrity of the metallomics information are also emphasized.

Keywords: Drugs; Food; Forensic; Geochemistry; Healthy; Nanoscience; Nutrition.
