This introductory laboratory
manual will help students design a sampling plan, understand the
instrumental and analytical techniques used for the assessment of
water quality, learn how to interpret data and use statistical
analyses, and apply scientific reasoning to an environmental
problem. Ideal for use in the laboratory portion of an
introductory environmental chemistry or general chemistry course,
the manual provides substantial background information about
water chemistry and gives the instructor a choice of procedures
for each analysis, from instrument-intensive techniques to those
requiring nothing more than a buret and a few chemicals.
