Determination of Metals in Natural Waters, Sediments and Soils provides analytic labs with a comprehensive overview of the various methods available for analysis of metals and serves as a manual to determine metal concentrations in different media such as natural waters, waste waters, sediments and soils. The book begins with a discussion of sampling techniques and preservation and then covers metals in rivers, surface ground and mineral waters and metals in aqueous precipitation. It concludes with detailed information on analysis of metals in sediments.
Determination of Metals in Natural Waters, Sediments and Soils
provides a foundation for informed action by environmental interest groups and regulators and a starting point for further study by graduate students, professionals, and researchers.- Includes all of the methods currently available to assess metals in water, sediments and soils
- Covers metals in surface ground and mineral waters
- Summarizes the strengths, weakness and precautions of different methods and provides a table summarizing the methods with reference citations
