Environmental Toxicity Testing
Date: Jan 24, 2005
Author: Clive Thompson, Kirit Wadhia, Andreas Loibner
As an integral component of environmental policy, it has become essential to regulate and monitor toxic substances. Past emphasis has been primarily on analytical approaches to the detection of specific, targeted contaminants, thus allowing chemical characterisation. However, toxicity testing or biological assessment is necessary for ecotoxicological evaluation, and this offers marked benefits and advantages that complement chemical analysis.Key issues to be addressed include identification of pertinent...

Sample Preparation for Hyphenated Analytical Techniques
Date: Sep 27, 2004
Author: Jack Rosenfeld
Linking “standard” but often mutually incompatible analytical techniques – so called hyphenation – generally leads to enhanced analytical performance, so hyphenated techniques are widely used in areas where samples are presented in complex matrices, eg environmental, pharmaceutical and biochemical analysis. With these hyphenated techniques, sample preparation is often the most time-consuming step in analysis, particularly where compounds are present in low concentration, and it has...
Read MoreInfrared and Raman Characteristic Group Frequencies: Tables and Charts, 3rd Edition
Date: Feb 6, 2004
Author: George Socrates
The third edition of this highly successful manual is not only a revised text but has been extended to meet the interpretive needs of Raman users as well as those working in the IR region. The result is a uniquely practical, comprehensive and detailed source for spectral interpretation. Combining in one volume, the correlation charts and tables for spectral interpretation for these two complementary techniques, this book will be of great benefit to those using or considering either technique. In addition...

Atomic Spectroscopy in Elemental Analysis
Date: Nov 25, 2003
Author: Michael Cullen
Atomic spectroscopy is the key technology used in the characterisation of inorganic materials. It encompasses a wide variety of techniques and provides rapid, sensitive and selective determination of elemental composition. This volume provides an overview of the complete range of atomic spectroscopy techniques available to the elemental analyst. Each chapter covers the essential principles of a technique, the available instrumentation and a range of representative applications. This is a book for...
Read MoreSample Preparation Techniques in Analytical Chemistry
Date: Oct 10, 2003
Author: Somenath Mitra
The importance of accurate sample preparation techniques cannot be overstated--meticulous sample preparation is essential. Often overlooked, it is the midway point where the analytes from the sample matrix are transformed so they are suitable for analysis. Even the best analytical techniques cannot rectify problems generated by sloppy sample pretreatment. Devoted entirely to teaching and reinforcing these necessary pretreatment steps, Sample Preparation Techniques in Analytical Chemistry addresses diverse...

Chemical Analysis of Contaminated Land
Date: Jun 19, 2003
Author: Clive Thompson, Paul Nathanail
This book provides a unique source of reference on the chemical analysis of potentially contaminated land. It assists in specifying appropriate analyses, relevant strategies for carrying out analyses, and methods of interpreting results within the new risk-based legislative framework for contaminated land. It addresses all aspects of the analysis, from delivery of the samples to the laboratory to the presentation of the results to the clients. Emphasis is placed on concentrated, tabular data, wherever...
