About this book
When an environmental analysis is performed - for example, to determine the quality of water in a lake or to analyze contaminants in fish - it is necessary to have a standard reference against which to compare results. Reference Materials for Environmental Analysis covers standards for environmental analysis in the US, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere around the globe. It contains all standards, including those for soil, water, gaseous, and biological analysis. Government, private, and academic laboratories will need a copy of this book!
