In aquatic systems, in addition to the complexation of metal ions by natural organic matter, metal bioavailability, bioaccumulation, and toxicity are highly affected by water hardness and alkalinity (Banks et al. 2003). This is also applicable to metal mixtures where complexation of metals can occur even at higher rates than when single chemical compounds are present. 

In drinking water, color may be used as an index of large quantities of organic chemicals from plants and soil organic matter. Metals such as copper, iron, and manganese may also introduce color (Table 13.8).

A distinctive feature of using weak, non-covalent forces, or for that matter metal-donor bonds, in molecular assemblies is that such interactions are normally readily reversible so that the final product is in thermodynamic equilibrium with its components (usually via its corresponding partially assembled intermediates). This leads to an additional property of most supramolecular systems they have an in-built capacity for error correction not normally available to fully covalent systems. Such a property is clearly of major importance for natural systems with their multitude of intermolecular contacts. It is a factor that will assume increasing importance for the construction of the new (larger) synthetic systems mentioned previously - as both the number of intermolecular contacts present and overall structural complexity are increased. 

Heat can be conducted, or passed, through many types of matter. Metals are very good conductors of heat. The energy in heat conducts from one end of a piece of metal to the other end. This is why a metal spoon gets hot when only one end is touching the source of the heat. 

AMMONIUM PERCHLORATE (7790-98-9) A powerful oxidizer. An explosion hazard sensitive to friction, impact, shock, and heat. Often contains the highly sensitive and explosive nitryl perchlorate as an impurity. Likewise, small amounts of potassium periodate will increase impact sensitivity. Violent reaction with reducing agents, combustible materials. Shock-sensitive materials formed on contact with ferrocene S, organic matter, metal powders, potassium permanganate, sulfur. At elevated temperatures, contained or confined material may explode violently. Contact with many materials in the presence of heat can cause a violent reaction, including explosion. 

CLORATO BARICO (Spanish) (13477-00-4) A powerful oxidizer. Reacts, possibly violently, with alkalis, reducing agents, powdered metals such as aluminum, copper, zinc, arsenic, strong acids, oleum, combustible materials, organic matter, metal sulfides, sulfur. Contact with ammonium compounds or powdered metals forms shock- and friction-sensitive compounds that can ignite or explode.

Typical soils exhibiting distinctive layers with increasing depth are called horizons (Fig. 9.7). The top layer, normally several centimetres in thickness, is known as the A horizon, or topsoil. This is the layer of maximum biological activity in the soil and it contains most of the soil organic matter. Metal ions and clay particles in the A horizon are subject to considerable leaching. The next layer is the B horizon, or subsoil. It receives material such as organic matter, salts, and clay particles leached from the topsoil. The C horizon is composed of weathered parent rocks from which the soil originated [1].
