Modern Environmental Analysis Techniques for Pollutants

Modern Environmental Analysis Techniques for Pollutants presents established environmental analysis methods, rapidly emerging technologies, and potential future research directions. As methods of environmental analysis move toward lower impact, lower cost, miniaturization, automation, and simplicity, new methods emerge and ultimately improve the accuracy of their analytical results. This book gives in-depth, step-by-step descriptions of a variety of techniques, including methods used in sampling, field sample handling, sample preparation, quantification, and statistical evaluation.

Modern Environmental Analysis Techniques for Pollutants aims to deliver a comprehensive and easy-to-read text for students and researchers in the environmental analysis arena and to provide essential information to consultants and regulators about analytical and quality control procedures helpful in their evaluation and decision-making procedures.

• Bridges the gap in current literature on analytical chemistry techniques and their application to environmental analysis
• Covers the use of nanomaterials in environmental analysis, as well as the monitoring and analysis of nanomaterials in the environment
• Looks to the past, present and future of environmental analysis, with chapters on historical background, established and emerging techniques and instrumentation, and predictions

Analytical chemists working in environmental analysis/environmental chemistry in academic research labs; technicians in the quality control industry; upper undergraduate and graduate students in advanced-level courses in environmental chemistry, management and engineering; regulators interested in environmental data generation
