Extensively revised and updated, this second edition provides analytical techniques for detecting compounds in water samples. Maintaining the detailed and accessible style of the original, this edition demonstrates water sampling and preservation methods by enumerating different ways to measure chemical and radiological characteristics and giving step-by-step descriptions of separation, residue determination, and clean-up techniques for a variety of fresh- and saltwater. It covers the analysis of endocrine disrupting compounds and residues of plastics as well as discusses acrylamide, trihalomethanes, phthalates, and volatile organic compounds in water.
