Extensively revised and updated, Handbook of Water Analysis, Second Edition provides current analytical techniques for detecting compounds in water samples.
Features:
Provides a summary of the current analytical techniques for water samples
Presents information in more than 300 tables, graphs, and charts for easy reference
Gives several sample preparation techniques for extracting phenolic compounds
Discusses sample collection, storage, preservation, pre-treatment, and instrumental techniques
Explains the parameters and assays involved in organic pollution
Maintaining the detailed and accessible style of the original, this edition demonstrates water sampling and preservation methods by enumerating different ways to measure chemical and radiological characteristics and giving step-by-step descriptions of separation, residue determination, and clean-up techniques for a variety of fresh- and salt-water. It reveals new information regarding the analysis of endocrine disrupting compounds and residues of plastics and contains four new chapters on acrylamide, trihalomethanes, phthalates, and volatile organic compounds in water.
