Environmental legislation emphasises the need for industries to control and monitor the environmental impact of their activities and this requires laboratory analysis of pollutants.This practical handbook covers current methods for detecting and monitoring pollution in air, soil and water in the context of legal requirements and industry standards. It provides comprehensive coverage of all the major, broadly applicable methods, from traditional methods to biosensors and remote sensing, giving practical guidance on their use.This text will be a valuable reference for any environmental scientist with an interest in analytical techniques. It is appropriate for MSc and postgraduate courses in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering and Environmental Analytical Chemistry.Dr Rafi Ahmad is Head of the Centre for Applied Laser Spectroscopy at Cranfield University, UK.Dr Michael Cartwright is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Environmental and Ordnance Systems at Cranfield University, UK.Frank Taylor is a Senior Research Officer and Founding Course Director of the MSc in Environmental Diagnostics at Cranfield University, UK.(NOT AVAILABLE ON INSPECTION - APPROVAL ONLY)
