Product Description: During the past ten years a variety of methods involving mass spectrom­ etry have been developed for the analysis of environmentally important compounds. Much has been accomplished in that period to solve some of the important problems in the field...read more

Product Description: The book begins by covering the basic principles of both gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) to the extent necessary to understand and deal with the data generated in a GC-MS analysis. The focus then turns to the particular requirements created by a direct combination of these two techniques into a single instrumentation system...read more

Product Description: The method of choice for analysis of organic pollutants in the environ­ ment is gas chromatography, using one of the most common detection systems such as flame ionization, electron capture, and mass spectro­ metric detection. Perhaps the most prevalent difference in practice among the envi­ ronmental analytical chemists involves the type of column used in gas chromatography...read more
