A lab manual for an undergraduate-level course in Environmental Chemistry or Environmental Analytical Chemistry.
Designed as a "user's manual" for students learning the required techniques and equipment they will encounter in the "real world," this lab manual provides an interdisciplinary collection of 24 student-tested experiments with extensive introductory material. It prepares students to think like scientists.
