This book covers all aspects of environmental trace analysis from sampling through to preparation of the sample to the analytical techniques used to quantify the level of trace metals or organic compounds. The book is divided into two areas: sample preparation for inorganic analysis and sample preparation for organic analysis. This allows the reader to focus on key aspects related to the preparation of samples for their subsequent analysis. Selected case studies provide the reader with the opportunity to consider how the sample preparation approach can be optimized for their own area of expertise.

A thorough and timely update, this new edition presents principles, techniques, and applications in this sub-discipline of analytical chemistry for quantifying traces of potentially toxic organic and inorganic chemical substances found in air, soil, fish, and water, as well as serum, plasma, urine, and other body fluids. The author addresses regulatory aspects, calibration, verification, and the statistical treatment of analytical data including instrument detection limits; quality assurance/quality control; sampling and sample preparation; and techniques that are used to quantify trace concentrations of organic and inorganic chemical substances. Key Features: Fundamental principles are introduced for the more significant experimental approaches to sample preparation Principles of instrumental analysis (determinative techniques) for trace organics and trace inorganics analysis An introduction to the statistical treatment of trace analytical data How to calculate instrument detection limits based on weighted least squares confidence band calibration statistics Includes an updated series of student-tested experiments

Trace Environmental Quantitative Analysis: Principles, Techniques, and Applications, Second Edition offers clear and relevant explanations of the principles and practice of selected analytical instrumentation involved in trace environmental quantitative analysis (TEQA). The author updates each chapter to reflect the latest improvements in TEQA that have resulted in greater levels of sensitivity. The book begins with an overview of regulatory and EPA methods, followed by quantitative data reduction and interpretation of analytical results, sample preparation, and analytical instrumentation. Among the more than two-dozen new topics are the underlying principles of GC-MS, GC-MS-MS, LC-MS, and ICP-MS, column chromatographic cleanup, gel permeation chromatography, applications to biological sample matrices, and matrix solid-phase dispersion. The chapter on sample preparation now includes more alternatives to liquid-liquid extraction, highlighting Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME), and Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (SBSE). The final chapter contains laboratory-tested experiments to practice the techniques appearing in the text. Appendices include a convenient glossary, applications to drinking water, computer programs for TEQA, instrument designs, and useful Internet links for practicing environmental analytical chemists. Featuring personal insight into the theory and practice of trace analysis from a bench analytical chemist, the second edition of Trace Environmental Quantitative Analysis takes readers from the fundamental principles to state-of-the-art methods of TEQA currently used in leading laboratories.
