An integrated approach to understanding the principles of
sampling, chemical analysis, and instrumentation

This unique reference focuses on the overall framework and why
various methodologies are used in environmental sampling and
analysis. An understanding of the underlying theories and
principles empowers environmental professionals to select and adapt
the proper sampling and analytical protocols for specific
contaminants as well as for specific project applications. Covering
both field sampling and laboratory analysis, Fundamentals of
Environmental Sampling and Analysis includes:

* A review of the basic analytical and organic chemistry,
statistics, hydrogeology, and environmental regulations relevant to
sampling and analysis

* An overview of the fundamentals of environmental sampling
design, sampling techniques, and quality assurance/quality control
(QA/QC) essential to acquire quality environmental data

* A detailed discussion of: the theories of absorption
spectroscopy for qualitative and quantitative environmental
analysis; metal analysis using various atomic absorption and
emission spectrometric methods; and the instrumental principles of
common chromatographic and electrochemical methods

* An introduction to advanced analytical techniques, including
various hyphenated mass spectrometries and nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy

With real-life case studies that illustrate the principles plus
problems and questions at the end of each chapter to solidify
understanding, this is a practical, hands-on reference for
practitioners and a great textbook for upper-level undergraduates
and graduate students in environmental science and engineering.

Chunlong (Carl) Zhang, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Environmental Science and Environmental Chemistry at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. He has over two decades of experience in academia, industry, and consulting. Dr. Zhang has firsthand, practical knowledge of environmental sampling and analysis from work in the field and in the lab. He is the author or coauthor of numerous articles and reports on contaminant fate/transport, environmental remediation, and environmental assessment.

"This book gives an excellent contribution to the understanding of
the fundamentals of environmental sampling and analysis including.
The book is a unique reference for a large audience from students
to environmental scientists at different stage of their work. The
book is a valuable guide and reference tool and should appeal to a
wide ranging audience including students, academics and
environmental professionals" (Environment International,
2008)

"As a particular feature, it includes questions and exercise
problems in each chapter to help to understand these concepts."
(International Journal of Environmental and Analytical
Chemistry, December 2007)

"The author writes in the first person plural which gives the
book a rather chatty style that works reasonably well. References
to real-life case studies also helps put the material in context
and some chapters have a 'practical tips' section which is a useful
feature" (Chemistry World, September 2007)

"An excellent book that I am sure will be adopted by many
faculty members." (Journal of Hazardous Materials, August
17, 2007)
