Analytical Measurements in Aquatic Environments

Covering the composition and underlying properties of freshwater and marine systems, this work provides a basis for understanding both. The authors employ a range of examples to explain the behavior of trace constituents in aquatic environments. They discuss collection and preparation, modern extraction techniques, conservation, and storage. They elucidate the use of passive dosimetry, mineralization techniques, speciation analytics, green analytical chemistry, and chemometric techniques. Extensive details on quality control and quality assurance provides a complete perspective on the difficulties of sample preparation in aquatic environments.
