This manual brings together the procedures required or recommended by the regulatory agencies in North America for the collection, preservation and preparation of environmental samples and for the determination of heavy-metal contents. Among the methods discussed for measuring atomic absorption are flame/furnace parameters, wavelength selections, interferences, and quantation. The book cites specific procedures for regulatory compliance monitoring of air,water and wastewater, liquid and solid wastes, and biological fluids and tissue in sufficient detail to serve as primary guidance in most laboratories using the technique. It also contains a chapter on quality control and quality assurance.
