Описание: Determination of Toxic Organic Chemicals in Natural Waters, Sediments and Soils reviews the latest techniques for the determination and assessment of both current and emerging organic compounds in a range of important environmental contexts.
A wide range of organic compounds in non-saline waters are discussed in the opening chapters, including hydrocarbons, surface active agents and volatile organic compounds, followed by multiorganics, pesticides and organometallic compounds in non-saline waters. Organic compounds in aqueous precipitation are then explored before the book goes on to discuss compounds in soils, including extraction techniques, insecticides, herbicides and fungicides, and organometallic compounds. Finally, the concluding chapters focus on compounds in sediments.
Drawing on the experience of its expert author, Determination of Toxic Organic Chemicals in Natural Waters, Sediments and Soils provides readers with the latest information in the field, supporting them in addressing the important issue of assessing organic material throughout ecosystems.
- Highlights the latest methods for analysing a wide range of organic compounds
- Supports researchers by providing detailed information across a range of ecosystems in one practical volume
- Includes detailed guidance for assessing complex mixtures of organic compounds in the environment
