Description
Reviews / Votes
"This book provides a good guide to some of the techniques on thechemical analyses of potentially contaminated land." Chemistry and Industry, 2003 "This is a very well written book with a comprehensive review ofthe numerous tests that may be used to evaluate contaminated land.It should be extremely useful both to the bench chemist as well asto the engineer who has responsibility of understanding safe sitecleanup and a desirable end point for that process." Journal of Hazardous Materials 2004 "The advantage of this book is that it compiles together severalchemistry-related issues that are usually found in separatebooks." "This book is useful for those who want to get an overall viewof the analysis of chemicals in soils, and for those who want tolearn about the analytical processes used for this, includingsample preparation, analytical concepts, method validation andquality assurance/quality control." Anal Bioanal Chem2006 "Chemical Analysis of Contaminated Land is a uniquesource of reference on the chemical analysis of potentiallycontaminated land... This book is directed at analytical chemists,environmental scientist and engineers who are responsible forcommissioning analyses of potentially contaminated soil or watersamples... The book bridges the gap between customers and thesuppliers." Carbohydrate PolymersMore details
