In addition to detailed instructions for sampling and immediate analysis, the book provides a concise presentation of both the theoretical background and data evaluation. The analytical methods thus presented can just as easily be applied using simple equipment as well as in the modern laboratory. <br>The book is a bench-top laboratory manual and as such can be used for instruction in laboratory staff training programs. It treats the analysis of organic and inorganic compounds while also dealing with microbiological problems associated with the guidelines for waste, surface and ground water, as well as drinking water quality.
