Redoxparameter
Redoxparameter denotes a quantitative descriptor of the redox state of a chemical, biological, or environmental system. It covers measures of the tendency to gain or lose electrons and may refer to redox potential, redox pair ratios, or other indices that summarize oxidative-reductive conditions. Because the term is not tied to a single standard definition, redox parameters generally reflect the balance between oxidants and reductants present.
The most common redox parameter is the redox potential, Eh, measured in volts or millivolts. Eh is
Interpretation of a redox parameter requires context. A particular Eh value may favor certain reactions but
Applications include environmental monitoring of sediments and waters, corrosion studies, electrochemical sensing, food chemistry, and clinical
