These should be self-explanatory and should supplement, not duplicate, the text. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and should be planned to a maximum size of 12 x 18 cm (for bigger ones please contact an editorial). The smallest font that may be used is Arial 8, the finest line 0.02 mm. Footnotes to tables should be indicated by lower-case superscript letters, beginning with ^a), ^b), ^c), etc. in each table. The list of tables should be provided on a separate sheet. Title for each table should enable the reader to understand the data without referring to the text. All tables must be referred to in the text, e.g. (Table 1) in their ascending order. Written copyright permission must be obtained for any tables already published elsewhere in the same form.

Table boxheads:
Provide a brief heading (boxhead) for each column. Units of measurement should be indicated in parentheses, e.g. concentration (mg dm^-3). Abbreviate longer boxheads to conserve space and explain the abbreviations in a footnote.
