The book covers important areas of environmental pollution analysis. The book presents chapters with a grim picture on levels of pollution, while if also highlights important modern methods of analysis. Other topics covered in the book are toxic pollutants and their analysis, air pollution, water pollution analysis and chemical treatment. The book is an asset for graduate and postgraduate students in chemistry and environmental science majoring in environmental analysis or monitoring as well as practicing environmental scientists, analytical chemists and serious research workers.
