Environmental Analytical Chemistry Paperback 2

Fifield, F. W.

Over more than two decades this book has established itself as the first choice for growing numbers of students and practising analysts who require a well-written and concise overview of the principles and practice of analytical chemistry. Significant changes encompass strengthening of the coverage of data handling, together with new material covering rapidly developing subject areas of molecular spectrometry, atomic spectrometry, and separation techniques. Answers to the self- learning problems and exercises are also included. The new edition of the book will continue to provide a sound and broad base for the study of analytical chemistry.

Environmental chemical analysis is difficult! Finding a book that has the right balance between a detailed treatment of analytical chemistry and a detailed treatment of the environmental context is a considerable challenge. A challenge nevertheless that these authors have risen to.... It would be useful for analytical and environmental chemistry courses, and is affordable by students. (Chemistry in Britain)
