    • Summary

    This book presents current methods for determining the impact of pollutants on the biosystem and enzymes, instrumentation, and statistical methods. Encompassing the breadth and depth of the field, this book explores analytical methods for determining physical, chemical, biological, and microbiological characteristics of water, waste water, soil, plant material, and air as well as plant and animal communities. Including sampling, instrumentation,  and monitoring methods, the book facilitates analysis for a wide range of chemical pollutants. Topics include bioassays, environmental radioactivity, biomonitoring, environmental impact assessment/auditing, and indoor air and noise pollution.
