Reihe: Sheffield Analytical Chemistry Series

This book provides a unique source of reference on the chemicalanalysis of potentially contaminated land. It assists in specifyingappropriate analyses, relevant strategies for carrying outanalyses, and methods of interpreting results within the newrisk-based legislative framework for contaminated land. Itaddresses all aspects of the analysis, from delivery of the samplesto the laboratory to the presentation of the results to theclients. Emphasis is placed on concentrated, tabular data, whereverpossible. Problems of analysis are highlighted and solutions areproposed. Asbestos is covered in detail in the chapter on inorganicparameters, and a chapter is included on the new techniques ofecotoxicity measurement.
Directed equally at the analytical chemist and theenvironmental scientist or engineer responsible for commissioninganalyses of potentially contaminated soil or water samples, thebook is written in a way that will prove helpful to both new andexperienced practitioners. As such, it is one of the first volumesto bridge the gap between the customer and the supplier.
