This new series takes a tutorial approach to the use of spectrometric

and spectroscopic measurement techniques in analytical science,

providing immediate guidance and advice to individuals in the course

of their work. The coverage of the series is wide-ranging, including

both established and emerging techniques.

Each monograph places emphasis on the practical application of the

technique it covers, yet also includes sufficient theory and detail on
instrumentation to enable new graduates and non-specialists alike to

grasp fully the fundamentals concerned.

The series will also cover related topics such as sample preparation;
detection systems; chemometrics; chemical sensing; environmental
monitoring; and process analytical chemistry.

Flame Spectrometry in Environmental Chemical Analysis: A Practical

Guide is a simple, user-friendly guide to safe flame spectrometric

methods for environmental samples. It explains key processes involved

in achieving accurate and reliable results in atomic' absorption

spectrometry, atomic fluorescence spectrometry and flame emission

spectrometry, showing the inter-relationship of the three techniques,
and their relative importance.

Flame Spectrometry in Environmental Chemical Analysis: A Practical

Guide presents the important information with thoroughness and
clarity, and in a style that makes it valuable to students and researchers
using these techniques. It straightforward reading for
also offers
environmentalists with interests in such as pollution research,
areas

agriculture, ecology, soil science, geology and forestry; informing

researchers of exactly what they can expect to be able to determine by
flame spectrometric methods.

Newcomers to flame spectrometry will gain increased confidence, job

skills and many handy tips and ideas from this book. It will impart a

strong working knowledge that can be translated into sound data in

the laboratory.
