Changes of Se chemical species during food-chain transfer. (a) Se K-edge normalized XANES spectra of references Se (Se: elemental selenium, Na2SeO3: sodium selenite and CdSe: cadmium selenide) and biological samples. (b) Se K-edge EXAFS k 3 χ(k) functions and (c) Fourier transformed of Se K-edge EXAFS k 3 χ(k) functions of biological samples and standards.
