New techniques, improved understanding and changes in regulations
relating to environmental analysis means that students, technicians
and lecturers alike need an up-to-date guide to practical
environmental analysis. This unique book provides detailed
instructions for practical experiments in environmental analysis.
The comprehensive coverage includes the chemical analysis of
important pollutants in air, water, soil and plant tissue, and the
experiments generally require only basic laboratory equipment and
instrumentation. The content is supported by theoretical material
explaining, amongst other concepts, the principles behind each
method and the importance of various pollutants. Also included are
suggestions for projects and worked examples. Appendices cover
environmental standards, practical safety and laboratory practice.
Building on the foundations laid by the highly acclaimed first
edition, this new edition has been revised and updated to include
information on new monitoring techniques, the Air Quality Index,
internet resources and professional ethics. Like its predecessor,
this informative text is certain to be valued as an indispensable
guide to practical environmental analysis by students on a variety
of science courses and their lecturers. Reviews of the first
edition: "I strongly urge academics in chemistry, biology, botany,
soil science, geography and environmental science departments to
give [this book] serious consideration as a course text." Malcolm
Cresser, Environment Department, University of York, UK "Destined
to become a course text for many university courses ... a high
quality, informative introductory text ... there should be multiple
copies on most university's library shelves." Environmental

This is the first publication to offer a comprehensive and balanced
view of atmospheric acidity. It is organised in three sections. The

second part outlines the environmental consequences and the final
part discusses the technological, legal and political aspects of
control strategies.
