About the Book Students majoring in Environmental Science need a grounding in Instrumental analysis as much as traditional Chemistry majors do, but their backgrounds and needs may be quite different. In this text, the basic topics of spectroscopy, chromatography and mass spectrometry are treated in detail. Other important subjects such as quality assurance plans, statistical data handling, and sampling, usually glossed over in an Instrumental Analysis course, are given more thorough coverage. Analytical instrumentation and its underlying principles are presented, along with the types of sample for which each instrument is best suited. Some non-instrumental techniques, such as colorimetric detection tubes for gases and immunoassays are also discussed. Finally, sampling, sample preparation and the application of an instrumental technique are brought together in ‘case studies’ of several actual environmental measurement protocols. The text is intended for a one semester course. It may be used as the main text in a lecture class, or as a supplementary reference in a laboratory course in Environmental Analysis. The book is also a useful resource for chemists, engineers, administrators and others involved in environmental monitoring Now published by www.crcpress.com paperback The Authors: Dr. Barbara Kebbekus is Professor of Chemistry and Dr. Somenath Mitra is Associate Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, and Environmental Science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ Reviews of the book: |
