4.1 Environment
Most of the studies reported in the literature concern the characterization of organic colloids (humic substances, alginate-type polymeric exudates) and inorganic colloids (particles) associated with trace metals and metalloids in surface water (fresh or marine), interstitial water (soil, sediment) or wastewater.
