Third Edition
edited by Leo M.L. Nollet
Chromatographic Analysis of the Environment is a detailed handbook on different chromatographic analysis techniques and chromatographic data for compounds found in air, water, soil, and sludge.
Features:
- Provides discussions of parameters of the different compartments of the environment in the same format
- Covers the specifics of aspects of sampling in the environment and the different sample preparation methods
- Discusses the importance of data processing
- Presents data tables that make valuable information easy to find
- Reviews analytical methods for nitrogen and sulfur compounds, organic and organometallic compounds, and VOCs such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX)
- Includes information and data relevant to insecticides and herbicides, oil and petroleum products, and surfactants
