Provides information on the application of analytical techniques, such as GC, LC, IR, and XRF for analysing and measuring water, solid and atmospheric samples and for monitoring environmental pollutants.
* Emphasizes Field Analysis, reflecting the growing application of this technique
* Information on sampling strategies - reflecting growth in this area
* Includes sections on solid and liquid extraction techniques
* Ideal as a self-study aid or as a taught course
Welche analytischen Verfahren wendet man zur Charakterisierung von Umweltproben an? Antwort auf diese Frage gibt Ihnen der Autor dieses Bandes. Ausführlich erläutert er die umweltspezifischen Einsatzgebiete von Gas- und Flüssigkeitschromatographie, IR-Spektroskopie und Röntgenfluoreszenz bei der Boden-, Wasser- und Luftanalyse sowie beim Monitoring bestimmter Schadstoffe. Mit aktuellsten Informationen zu Strategien der Probennahme und zur Extraktion in fester und flüssiger Phase!
