Summary |
"The presence of trace metals in water is a matter of increasing concern. Bioaccumulation of metals through the food chain creates a serious impact on public health, yet analytical techniques for detecting the often low concentrations of contaminants are often poorly understood." "Determination of Metals in Natural and Treated Waters presents, in a systematic fashion, a comprehensive guide to the main analytical techniques for detecting cations in non-saline and saline waters. The author describes the applicability of each technique under individual circumstances, thus providing a framework for choosing the appropriate test method every time. Examples of results obtained by various methods are given." "This volume is an essential reference for analytical chemists and toxicologists working in the water industry, agrochemistry, fisheries, industrial waste and effluent management and public health."--BOOK JACKET |
