CROMPTON, T.R.
It is becoming increasingly realised that the oceans and rivers, in particular, are not unlimited reservoir into which waste can be dumped and that control of these emissions is necessary if complete destruction of the environment is to be avoided. T. R. Crompton has drawn together up-to-date information on these issues and on the relevant analytical methods needed by all experts active in environmental protection and toxicology. It is the purpose of this book to describe in detail methods for the determination of all types of pollutants, inorganic, organic and organometallic in fish, crustacean and other marine creatures, also weeds, plants, phytoplankton, algae etc. and the interpretation of the respective measurement results.
