Cover of Determination of Organic Compounds in Soils, Sediments and Sludges
The first volume to comprehensively discuss the range of methods available for the analysis of organic compounds in soils, river and marine sediments and industrial sludges. It commences with a review of the instrumentation used in soil and sediment laboratories and indicates the types of organics that can be determined by each technique. Subsequent chapters discuss the analysis of various types of organics in a logical and systematic manner. It provides guidance on the applicability of techniques in certain environments, the advantages and disadvantages of using one method over another, likely interference, the sensitivity of particular techniques, and detection limits.

Cover of Determination of Metals in Natural and Treated Water
As environmental controls are lagging behind industrial development metals are an increasing hazard to humans, animal and plant life. Bioaccumumlation of metals through the food chain creates serious impact on public health yet often analytical techniques for detecting the often low concentrations of contaminants are poorly understood. Determination of Metals in Natural and Treated Water draws together scattered literature and presents in a systematic fashion the latest available analytical techniques for detecting metals in non-saline and saline natural and treated water. Broad outlines of different methods and their applicability in certain situations are given, allowing the chemist to choose appropriate test methods. This volume is an essential reference for environmental analytical chemists, toxicologists and the medical community in the water, agrochemistry, fisheries and waste management industries and the public sector, including enforcement and public health.

Cover of Determination of Metals and Anions in Soils, Sediments and Sludges
This is the first work to comprehensively discuss the range of methods currently available for the analysis of metals and anions in soils, river and marine sediments, and industrial sludges. This will be an essential reference for professionals.
