Reviews / Votes
"This handbook has many valuable features and provides a wealth ofinformation for the professional...should have wide appeal."(Environmental Practice, June 2006) "...a comprehensive catalog of the benefits and drawbacks ofvirtually every available tool and technique." (Journal of theAmerican Water Resources Association, April 2005) "...should greatly simply the decision making process whenselecting the proper monitoring method or instrument."(E-STREAMS, April 2005) "Each chapter gives a detailed description of the instrument andmethodology at hand, which is supported by valuable case studiesand enriched by discussions of common pitfalls and how to avoidthem." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, March 31,2005) "...an excellent guide to the variety of thetechniques used for environmental monitoring and analysis."(Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, February2007)More details
