Tremendous improvements in ground-water sampling methodologies and
analytical technologies have made it possible to collect and
analyze truly representative samples to detect increasingly lower
levels of contaminants-now in the sub-parts-per-billion range.
Though these new methods produce more accurate and precise data and
are less expensive, many companies and government agencies are
reluctant to update their sampling protocols and regulations
claiming the transition would be too costly. The Essential Handbook
of Ground-Water Sampling clearly details the economic and
scientific case for adopting these new methodologies. Citing
examples of unnecessary expenditure due to the inaccuracy of
out-dated techniques, the editors point out that the expense of
making incorrect decisions based on poor quality samples clearly
negates any savings that might be realized by using older, more
inefficient, and effectively short-sighted, methods. Using numerous
figures, tables, and references to recent research, the editors
explain the efficiency of utilizing newer, more accurate,
techniques that produce higher quality data. The text provides a
detailed discussion of every aspect of ground-water sampling from
the development of a sampling and analysis plan, through sample
collection, pre-treatment, handling, shipping, and analysis, to the
documentation, interpretation, and presentation of ground-water
quality data. Successful sampling events and accurate data provide
a sound foundation for making important, potentially expensive
decisions regarding site monitoring, risk assessment, remediation,
and closure. Armed with the information presented in this handbook,
environmental professionals will be able to make sound
technological and economic decisions regarding the choice of
sampling equipment, methodologies, and procedures to meet their
site-specific objectives and ensure the success of their
ground-water sampling programs.
