Self-assessment questions have been added.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnvironmental science was one of the key concerns of the latter part of the twentieth century and will continue to be into the twenty-first. Concerns for environmental protection and public health worldwide have led to extensive legislation. The investigation and modelling of environmental systems, together with the implementation of laws and regulations, has led to a demand for a large number of environmental measurements, many of which are made by techniques falling within the broad range of analytical chemistry. Many professionals make regular use of data obtained by techniques of analytical chemistry. Thus, although not primarily analytical chemists or even chemists, they need sufficient knowledge of the background of analytical chemistry to judge the quality and limitations of the environmental data obtained. Very much the same situation arises in the academic world, where students are involved in environmental science studies or projects in which they need appropriate analytical chemistry information.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBoth analytical chemistry and environmental science have an extensive literature at varying levels of sophistication. However, there have been few attempts to link the two. This book sets out the background to analytical chemistry and covers the principles of its most important techniques. This is done in a way that enables a user to grasp the strengths and weaknesses of a technique, together with its principles of operation, without becoming enmeshed in the chemical small print. Links to environmental uses are indicated in broad terms and then exemplified in more detail by accounts of specific and important environmental problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten for students of chemistry, environmental science and related disciplines, the book is also an essential reference source for those who use environmental information and need to be aware of the factors affecting its quality and reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThis is still the only book to focus exclusively on the analytical chemistry methods relevant to environmental studies.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAs useful to chemists as it is to non-specialists who require an understanding of the techniques employed to collect data in their disciplines (e.g. environmental researchers, ecotoxicologists, etc).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors v\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface to First Edition xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface to Second Edition xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: General Principles and Techniques 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eF.
