Presents the principles and practice of environmental immunoassays for novices in immunochemical techniques. Describes the development and optimization of immunoassays for pesticides, metals, explosives, chemical warfare agents, and industrial contaminants. Includes applications of immunoasssays to the analysis of soil, surface water, and ground water and illustrates the reliability of these techniques. Highlights novel formats of immunoassays such as immunosensors,
immunoaffinity techniques, multi-residue assays, immunofluorescent detection systems, and flow-injection immunoassays.
