Beskrivning

Monitoring of Air Pollutants: Sampling, Sample Preparation and Analytical Techniques provides a comprehensive reference on air pollutant monitoring, addressing experimental approaches to sampling and sample preparation, as well as analytical technologies (instrumental methods) which are applicable to a wide range of topics.

The book's purpose is to provide an in-depth resource on the monitoring of ambient air pollutants that covers the basic principles, recent developments, and important applications in the field. Current trends and recent advances are discussed, both with respect to analytical techniques and target air pollutants.

All aspects of air pollutant monitoring, from sampling, to sample preparation, and analysis, are covered, making this the book of choice for consultation by air monitoring practitioners.

Contains all the information needed for air pollutant monitoring from sampling, to sample preparation, to analysis
Provides guidance on the best analytical approach for a target pollutant
Presents the pros and cons of included techniques to enable informed decisions
Includes case studies based on published practical applications

Mer om författaren

After Dr Patricia Forbes obtained her BSc Honours in chemistry (1994), she spent several years working in the platinum industry, where she completed her MSc and became Environmental Manager. Patricia was then appointed as Senior Lecturer in Environmental Chemistry at the Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria, before moving to the Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) where she headed up the Air Quality Research Laboratory and was a Senior Researcher. Patricia completed her PhD at the University of Pretoria (2010), which she then joined as Senior Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry. Her research focuses primarily on atmospheric analyses involving the development of novel sampling and analytical methods for environmental pollutants. Patricia serves on the Executive of the South African Chemical Institute (SACI) and is Chairperson of ChromSA (the chromatography division of SACI). She is Scientific Editor (Analytical Chemistry) for the South African Journal of Chemistry.
