Chromatographic Analysis of the Environment: Mass Spectrometry Based Approaches, Fourth Edition / Edition 4

by Leo M.L. Nollet, Dimitra A. Lambropoulou

Overview

This detailed handbook covers different chromatographic analysis techniques and chromatographic data for compounds found in air, water, and soil, and sludge. The new edition outlines developments relevant to environmental analysis, especially when using chromatographic mass spectrometric techniques. It addresses new issues, new lines of discussion, and new findings, and develops in greater detail the aspects related to chromatographic analysis in the environment. It also includes different analytical methodologies, addresses instrumental aspects, and outlines conclusions and perspectives for the future.
