MCR-ALS of voltammetric data for the study of environmentally relevant substances

Abstract

A critical revision is made on the main approaches and results arising from the combination of multivariate curve resolution by alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) and electroanalytical measurements in the field of environmental analytical chemistry. Although most of the work done has been focused on the study of the metal binding properties of metal bioregulators such as metallothioneins or phytochelatins, new perspectives appear in the evolving world of sensors for environmental monitoring.
