Monitoring of Air Pollutants: Sampling, Sample Preparation and Analytical Techniques

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 pollutantPresents the pros and cons of included techniques to enable informed decisions Includes case studies based on published practical applications  INDICE: I. Introduction 1. Perspectives on the monitoring of air pollutants II. Sampling Air Pollutants with Associated Sample Preparation Techniques 2. Passive sampling devices 3. Biomonitors 4. Whole air and high volume sampling 5. Denuders 6. Automated continuous air monitoring 7. Novel and emerging air sampling devices III. Analysis of Air Pollutants 8. Spectroscopic and chromatographic methods for the determination of metals, metalloids and ions 9. Chromatographic techniques for organic analytes 10. Mass spectrometry 11. Microscopy and surface analytical methods IV. Concluding Comments 12. Concluding comments and future outlook
