Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species in the Atmospheric and Aquatic Environments, Volume 113 delves into the dynamic and complex roles of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) across atmospheric and aquatic environments. Specific chapters in this new release include an Assessment of the state-of-the-art developments on reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in atmospheric and aquatic matrices, Occurrence, fate and effects of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species on biogeochemical cycles in aquatic ecosystems, Sampling, sample-handling, and analytical approaches for measuring reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in aquatic matrices, and more.Additional chapters cover Nanoparticle-based sensors for the selective detection of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in environmental matrices: limitations, progress, and perspectives and Atmospheric reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and their effects on air quality and human health.Provides comprehensive coverage of cutting-edge sampling techniques, handling protocols, and analytical methods, including sensor-based detection strategiesIntegrates atmospheric and aquatic perspectives on reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, bridging environmental chemistry, ecology, and public healthFeatures chapters authored by leading researchers offering current advances, critical evaluations, and future directions in ROS/RNS research and monitoring

There is a trend in analytical chemistry towards development of eco-friendly methods of sample preparation without loss of efficiency. This book provides a general, critical, and updated vision of the different green sample preparation approaches that have been developed. These include miniaturisation of the extraction techniques that allow a reduction not only of the chemicals used during the process, but also of the sample amount; the use of greener solvents, such as certain ionic liquids (ILs) or deep eutectic solvents (DES), instead of conventional organic solvents; and the use of new selective sorbent materials that allow both extraction and clean-up in the same step. All of these strategies have been successfully applied to the determination of a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds.Advanced undergraduate and graduate students will find this book a good reference source and, because of the multidisciplinary nature of this topic, it will be of use to a broad audience including chemists, materials scientists, environmental analysts, forensic scientists, pharmacists, biologists and chemical engineers, who are involved and interested in the future frontiers of analytical chemistry.
