Cadmium: Chemistry, toxicology, the environment, and analytical methods for their determination

Cadmium is one of the most significant metallic pollutants today due to its high toxicity, environmental persistence, and capacity for bioaccumulation. Its presence in water, soil, food, tobacco, and living organisms represents an issue of growing concern in analytical chemistry, environmental toxicology, and public health. This book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of cadmium, addressing its general properties, environmental behavior, toxicological mechanisms, and routes of human exposure. It also provides an in-depth discussion of the main analytical methodologies used for its determination and monitoring, including atomic spectrometry, electroanalytical techniques, molecular fluorescence, solid-phase fluorescence, nanotechnology, and strategies compatible with green analytical chemistry.The book also incorporates scientific contributions developed by the authors' research group, focusing on the design of innovative luminescent methodologies applied to complex environmental, food, and biological matrices.
