These Proceedings contain both oral and poster contributions to the
first interna tional conference" Field Screening Europe -
Strategies and Techniques for On-Site Investigation and Monitoring
of Contaminated Soil, Water and Air," held in Karls ruhe September
29 - October 1, 1997. Environmental monitoring and the assessment
of chemical contaminations are be coming more and more important.
The integrated study of environmental con tamination in the field
is a rather recent approach. "Field screening" indicates such field
analytical tools, (quick) methods and strategies for on-site or
in-situ environmental analysis and assessment of contamination. The
classical strategy for investigating contaminants consists of the
following steps: site studies, sampling, sample transport to the
laboratory, sample preparation, and analysis. This strategy is
rather expensive and time consuming. Some investiga tions,
including sample preparation, may last several days. In many cases,
the results must be available immediately and are of importance for
further decisions. Field screening is an alternative or complement
to this strategy that attempts to be cheaper and faster and may
achieve the same quality of results. The most important argument
for field analytical methods is that the superior accuracy and high
costs of laboratory methods are disproportional to the possibility
of arti facts from sampling and errors originating from spatial
variations of contaminants."
