A Practical Guide to Test Methods for Toxic Metals in Consumer Products
Date: Jan 9, 2013
Author: Carla T. Kagel
Regulation of toxic metals in consumer products has significantly changed in the past decade, creating an increase in the demand for metals testing in a wide variety of materials. Industries dealing with child care products, toys, jewelry, packaging, and paints are especially concerned with the regulatory testing for toxic metals in their products. This book helps chemists, engineers, and attorneys concerned with testing materials for metals to comply with and enforce current government regulations. It...
Read MorePractical Instrumental Analysis
Date: Nov 14, 2012
Author: Sergio Petrozzi
This practical book in instrumental analytics conveys an overview of important methods of analysis and enables the reader to realistically learn the (principally technology-independent) working techniques the analytical chemist uses to develop methods and conduct validation.What is to be conveyed to the student is the fact that analysts in their capacity as problem-solvers perform services for certain groups of customers, i.e., the solution to the problem should in any case be processed in such a way as to...
