Statistical Methods for Detection and Quantification of Environmental Contamination

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Kontaminationen so früh wie möglich erkennen und damit so früh wie möglich beseitigen: Statistische Methoden, die diesem Ziel dienen, werden hier vorgestellt. Die besprochenen Strategien zum Nachweis und zur Quantifizierung von Schadstoffen lassen sich auf alle Umweltkompartimente anwenden. Praktische Details werden anhand von Fallstudien anschaulich erläutert.
