Abstract
In polluted waters the toxicity of heavy metals to aquatic plants and animals depends on their physicochemical form (ie speciation). For example, copper ions are very toxic while copper bound to natural organic matter is innocuous. However, while measurements of total metal concentrations can usually be obtained, it is not always easy to measure just the toxic form.
