The presence of concentrations of organic substances and cations in
seawater is a matter of increasing concern to the water industry,
environmentalists and the general public alike. It poses a threat
of possible health hazards for humans, fish and crustacea. Until
fairly recently, the analysis of seawater was limited to a number
of major constituents such as chloride and alkalinity. Insufficient
attention was given to the analysis of sediments. Analysis of
Oceanic Waters and Sediments draws attention to the methods
available for analysing sediments in seawater. It covers classical
methods as well as the most advanced and recently introduced
physical techniques. It also discusses the sensitivities and
limitations of the methods. The book is comprised of two major
components. The first is a review of the occurrence of organic
compounds and cations as well as examples of pollution by these
substances in the ocean. The second is concerned with determination
of the concentrations of organic compounds and metals, including an
in-depth examination of the most sensitive analytical methods that
are available and necessary for detecting them due to their low
concentrations in the ocean. A detailed exploration of the largely
overlooked area of oceanic sediment analysis, this book is of high
interest for all professionals in the water industry, from river
management to fish industries, sewage effluent treatment and
disposal, land drainage and water supply. Its scope also applies to
agriculturalists, chemists, biologists, toxicologists, public
health workers and public analysts.
