Environmental Sampling and Analysis for Metals

<p>Determination of metals is a major part of the work of environmental testing laboratories. EPA and DEP methodology releases provide information only for selected areas of metals sampling and analysis and their language makes them unsuitable for teaching and training purposes. Environmental Sampling and Analysis for Metals is a comprehensive and easy-to-read text for laboratory technicians and analytical chemists who need a guide for analyzing metals in environmental samples and a reference for analytical and quality control procedures.<br><br>The book provides both theoretical and practical applications in metals analysis of environmental samples and incorporates the latest in analytical techniques instrumentation and regulations. Topics include sample collection preservation step-by-step analytical procedures complete QA/QC requirements data validation and more. It also provides an overview of the occurrence source and fate of metallic substances in the environment as well as their control by regulations and standards. Furthermore the authors provide guidelines to help you prepare and understand reports. The analytical methods presented in Environmental Sampling and Analysis for Metals will be useful to anyone who produces uses or evaluates analytical data and will be a valuable tool in environmental education and training programs.</p>
