Various polarographic techniques have been successfully used to measure elemental sulfur, S , and sulfide (H2S and HS ) concentrations in laboratory solutions [116], salt water [117], saline lake [118], freshwater [119], lake porewaters [120], salt marsh sediments [109,120], and marine porewaters [121], Using stripping square wave voltammetry, researchers have been able to measure sulfide species at nanomolar concentrations [118-120, 122,123], Recently, cyclic and linear sweep voltammetries have been used to quantify elemental sulfur S , hydrogenosulfide (HS ) and polysulfides (S ) with fast scan rates (IV s ) [124] for example, in estuarine sediments (from Rehoboth Bay, an inland bay located in Delaware), the sulfur speciation was found to change throughout a core profile, with dominant in the top layers (0-6 cm), dominant... 

Sulfur is not only involved in the cycling of Fe or pyrite in marsh soils and estuarine sediments, but can also play an important role in retaining heavy metal and trace elements in these systems (Boulegue et al., 1982).
