Riassunto

This book covers all aspects of environmental trace analysis from sampling through to preparation of the sample to the analytical techniques used to quantify the level of trace metals or organic compounds. The book is divided into two areas: sample preparation for inorganic analysis and sample preparation for organic analysis. This allows the reader to focus on key aspects related to the preparation of samples for their subsequent analysis. Selected case studies provide the reader with the opportunity to consider how the sample preparation approach can be optimized for their own area of expertise.

John Dean's recent research work has focused on (a) the application of the physiologically-based extraction test to assess environmental health risk from metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in contaminated land studies, (b) development of new high performance liquid chromatographic approaches for environmental and pharmaceutical compounds, and, (c) development of novel gas chromatographic approaches as a diagnostic tool for bacterial detection/identification.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Increasing environmental regulations have resulted in the need for new methods of analysis for environmental samples. A number of techniques have been developed that reduce or eliminate the need for toxic organic solvents to be used, and the field of environmental trace analysis continues to develop and expand both in terms of its application and in the range of analytical techniques that are applied.

Building upon the knowledge presented in the author’s previous title, Methods for Environmental Trace Analysis, this book provides new areas of investigation and over 10 years of developments.

Environmental Trace Analysis: Techniques and Applications covers the essentials of

• good laboratory housekeeping
• making and recording practical results
• principles of quantitative analysis
• sampling protocols and sample storage
• sample preparation for inorganic analysis
• sample preparation for organic analysis
• the wide range of analytical techniques that are applied to environmental trace elemental and organic analyses.

Including case studies that highlight the application of the techniques, this book is intended to provide practical information and a comparison of methods applied to environmental samples. This text is suitable for students studying environmental science as well as related chemistry and biology study programmes.
