Humic Substances in the Aquatic and Terrestrial Environment : Proceedings of an International Symposium Linkoeping, Sweden, August 21-23, 1989

The state of the art on isolation techniques, ion binding theory, biologic activity in the aquatic environment as well as the formation of mutagenic compounds from chlorination is reviewed by worldwide-known experts. Additional papers describe current research on the topics: isolation, fractionation and characterization; biological and chemical transformation and degradation; complex formation and interactions with solids; biologic activity, halogenation of humic substances.
