In all living systems, the biochemical functions of both essential and toxic metals are
mediated through specific chemical species, or complexes, and the concentrations of
these particular species are important for the biochemical reactions but not just the
total concentration of the metal in the system. For instance some elements can be
highly toxic to various life forms; others are considered essential, but can become
toxic at higher doses. Many of these effects depend strongly on the particular form in
which the element is present in the system.
