Part 1 covers analytical techniques, including instrumentation, sample preparation, wet methods, air analysis, and immunoassay. Part 2 presents analytical methodologies for different classes of organic and inorganic pollutants in aqueous, solid, and air matrices. Part 3 contains analytical methodologies and physical properties for selected compounds. Appendices provide instant information on a wide array of topics, from sample preparation to statistical calculation. Chemical equations, structures, problems, and possible solutions are presented throughout the handbook
