"Jay Lehr - Is there a need for this book? There is definitely a need for this book. Environmental Consultants and others involved in all phases of environmental assessment and remediation are always searching for the simplest and most direct man to measure the levels of concentrations of a particular contaminant in soil, air and water.; Willis Weight- is there a need or this book? It seems like a book like this would be a great help to a wide audience... Being able to turn to a single reference and find a procedure to perform an analysis for a given pollutant is appealing... There is an appeal to any professional working in the field for a reference book like this.More details
