ABSTRACT
This study offers insight into the principles of trace environmental quantitative analysis (TEQA), focusing on data reduction and interpretation, sample preparation and instrumental analysis from a wide range of matrices, including sludge, sediment, oil and air, as well as ground, waste and surface water. It draws on the author's own research with
Introduction to trace environmental quantitative analysis (TEQA); calibration, verification, statistical treatment of analytical data, detection limits, quality assurance and quality control; sample preparation techniques to isolate and recover organics and inorganics; determinative techniques to measure organics and inorganics; specific laboratory experiments.
