TLDR
In this article, the results of a single sweep voltammetry and a particular semiautomated ASV-procedure have established that the two labile complexes of Pb(II) prevailing in the sea are [PbCO 3 ] and [pb (CO 3 ) 2 ] 2−.
Abstract
Traces of heavy metals and other toxic trace metals occur dissolved in the sea mainly in form of labile inorganic complex species with the anionic constituents of sea water as ligands. Therefore, the identification of the preferentially by the respective metal formed complex species, their physicochemical characterization and the determination of their stability constants are important actual topics in marine trace metal chemistry. Suitable polarographic and voltammetric methods, provide a rather unique access to this kind of speciation problems. Experimental data obtained in aqueous model solutions with I of 0.7 and in artificial sea water by single sweep voltammetry and by a particular semiautomated ASV-procedure have established that the two labile complexes of Pb(II) prevailing in the sea are [PbCO 3 ] and [Pb (CO 3 ) 2 ] 2− .

Complexation of trace metals in natural waters

TL;DR: In this article, a new approach to determination of trace metal complexation in natural waters, based on the voltammetric analysis of the inert metal complex, is proposed, which can evaluate the complexing capacity and apparent stability constant of the formed metal complex.

Distribution of Cd, Pb and Cu between the dissolved and particulate phase in the Eastern Scheldt and Western Scheldt estuary

TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of the potentially ecotoxic heavy metals Cd, Pb and Cu between the dissolved and the particulate matter phase has been studied in the Oosterscheldt and Westerschelft estuaries, The Netherlands, in five missions during the spring, summer and winter of 1979-1980.

Investigations on heavy metal speciation in natural waters by voltammetric procedures

TL;DR: The potentialities for diagnostic measurements and for specific studies on the effects of physicochemical parameters of natural waters on heavy metal species are presented in this article, where the type and size of the obtainable information and resulting conclusions of the fate of heavy metals in natural waters are indicated.

Comparative studies on trace metal levels in marine biota: III. Typical levels and accumulation of toxic trace metals in muscle tissue and organs of marine organisms from different European seas

TL;DR: The mean values obtained related to fresh weight for krill muscle meat, krill products and fillets of antarctic fish confirm the absence of toxic risks for human food and should be more suitable as a protein rich animal feed.

A pH-DEPENDENT MODEL FOR THE CHEMICAL SPECIATION OF COPPER, ZINC, CADMIUM, AND LEAD IN SEAWATER

TL;DR: A pH-dependent model for the speciation of divalent Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb ions in seawater was constructed with available and estimated thermodynamic stability constants and individual ion activity coefficients as mentioned in this paper.
