Description

Each field of chemistry is confronted with the problem of monitoring water quality and research on trace chemical compounds. This text is designed to meet the needs of the many potential users for reliable guidelines and methods of the analysis of trace elements in natural waters - eg analytical chemists, hydrologists, oceanographers, toxicologists, ecologists - involved inthe quality control of natural waters and the detection of traces. This project, initiated by T.S.West, President of the Division of Analytical Chemistry of IUPAC, in 1979, is intended to offer chemists and related scientists a survey of available methods, showing their respective performances, their areas of application and, in general, information that will enable them to apply the data to the resolution of specific problems.
