Research and development of solid state gas sensor devices began in the 1950s with several uncoordinated independent efforts. The number and pace of these investigations later accelerated in response to increasing pressure placed on the environment and public health by industrial activities. Since 1970, several thousand articles have been written on the subject, and laboratories around the globe have introduced novel methodologies and devices to address needs associated with particular technological developments. Despite the rapid development of this important new technology, very little...

Developments in analytical instruments have allowed for the detection of tiny amounts of pesticides in foods. As a result, more trace pesticides are discovered, more regulations go into effect and analytical chemists are increasingly challenged to conduct analysis with more speed, sensitivity, accuracy, and precision than ever. This work provides analytical chemists in environmental, agricultural and food laboratories with a practical guide to contemporary techniques, methods and regulations in pesticide residue analysis. Covering both the available regulations and the state-of-the-art...

Element speciation determines the different forms a chemical element can take within a given compound, enabling chemists to predict possible ramifications for the environment and human health. This comprehensive book focuses on the analytical aspects and instrumentation of speciation, while covering the gamut of metal speciation forms with adverse effects on biological materials and the environment at large.
The book consists of contributions by a truly international group of leading authorities on element speciation in bioinorganic chemistry. The editor--a contributor here...

Laser-enhanced ionization (LEI) is a type of optical spectrometry that employs photoexcitation to ionize atoms selectively. Over the past two decades, this method--originally known as the optogalvanic effect--has been the object of extensive worldwide research and the subject of numerous papers and published articles. Until now, however, no single volume has presented this wealth of theory and data in a cohesive and accessible form.
Laser-Enhanced Ionization Spectrometry fills this gap in the literature. It synthesizes vast amounts of information previously available only through...

Biosensors are a method of rapid, infield detection of toxins such as pesticides and hazardous wastes. They are becoming an increasingly popular analytical tool among analytical chemists involved with environmental, clinical and food analysis. This text aims to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of biosensors, with an emphasis on their sensitivity, application, accuracy, and analytical protocols.

The authoritative handbook to exploiting the full power and versatility of PIXE-- now and in the next century
Respected for its practical accuracy and detection range of parts per million, particle-induced X-ray emission has enjoyed a secure place in the analytical arsenal of the nuclear physics laboratory. Yet, its undeniable analytical potential in other areas of science has scarcely been tapped. This unique reference, from PIXE specialists in biomedicine, atmospheric science, earth science, and art and archaeology, features a user-based look at PIXE's conceptual basics and...

This is a monograph on the subject of the theory of Stripping Electronanalytical Methods (SEAM) and its application to environmental monitoring. The simplest explanation of this phenomena is to describe it as the determination of compounds that are absorbed strongly to the electrode surface at one potential and then are stripped off at a different potential. This method is used most often for organic and biological molecules, and is useful in a number of applied areas of research, notably environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical and clinical/biochemical analysis and powder materials

This study demonstrates how the information theory approach to experimental data can be of benefit not only to analytical chemists but to all those using these techniques in the decision-making process. It deals with theoretical fundamentals as well as with practical aspects. A particular emphasis is the systems nature of analysis, which is of particular importance in multicomponent analysis.

Divided into three main parts, the book begins with a clear explanation of basic SPE conceptsincluding theory, chemistry, and mechanisms of interaction as well as methods development, troubleshooting, and optimization. The next section presents an in-depth look at SPE applications, with separate chapters devoted to clinical, environmental, and natural product chemistry. Numerous examples drawn from each of these three areas illustrate SPE in action in the real world, successfully bridging the gap between principles and practice.
The final section of this book discusses the latest SPE...
