Increasing environmental regulations have resulted in the need for new methods of analysis for environmental samples. A number of techniques have been developed that reduce or eliminate the need for toxic organic solvents to be used, and the field of environmental trace analysis continues to develop and expand both in terms of its application and in the range of analytical techniques that are applied. Building upon the knowledge presented in the author's previous title, Methods for Environmental Trace Analysis, this book provides new areas of investigation and over 10 years of developments.…mehr
Increasing environmental regulations have resulted in the need for new methods of analysis for environmental samples. A number of techniques have been developed that reduce or eliminate the need for toxic organic solvents to be used, and the field of environmental trace analysis continues to develop and expand both in terms of its application and in the range of analytical techniques that are applied. Building upon the knowledge presented in the author's previous title, Methods for Environmental Trace Analysis, this book provides new areas of investigation and over 10 years of developments. Environmental Trace Analysis: Techniques and Applications covers the essentials of * good laboratory housekeeping * making and recording practical results * principles of quantitative analysis * sampling protocols and sample storage * sample preparation for inorganic analysis * sample preparation for organic analysis * the wide range of analytical techniques that are applied to environmental trace elemental and organic analyses. Including case studies that highlight the application of the techniques, this book is intended to provide practical information and a comparison of methods applied to environmental samples. This text is suitable for students studying environmental science as well as related chemistry and biology study programmes.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Professor John Dean, Professor of Analytical and Environmental Science, Northumbria University, UK Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC); Chartered Chemist (C.Chem.); Chartered Scientist (C.Sci.); Registered Analytical Chemist John Dean's recent research work has focused on (a) the application of the physiologically-based extraction test to assess environmental health risk from metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in contaminated land studies, (b) development of new high performance liquid chromatographic approaches for environmental and pharmaceutical compounds, and, (c) development of novel gas chromatographic approaches as a diagnostic tool for bacterial detection/identification.
