Perspectives on bioinorganic chemistry

About this book

Lithium is a ubiquitous element in the environment: it occurs naturally in seawater at levels of the order of 10-7 g/g, it is relatively abundant in rocks and minerals at approximately 10-5 g/g, and it is naturally present in ultratrace amounts in plants and in animals, including humans, at less than 10-8 g/g [1].
