A fully reworked and updated introduction to environmental data and its applications

Data sampling and analysis are fundamental components of environmental scientific research. The acquisition of reliable figures with respect to pollution, chemical contamination, and other environmental interactions is a critical precursor to serious analysis. No would-be environmental scientist, engineer, or policymaker can be without an understanding of how to accumulate and assess credible data.

Fundamentals of Environmental Sampling and Analysis, 2^nd edition provides this understanding, with a comprehensive survey of the theory and applications of these critical tools. The field of environmental research has expanded greatly since the production of the first edition, and this book has been completely rewritten to reflect the latest studies and essential developments. The resulting mix of theory and practice will continue to serve as the standard introduction to the subject.

Readers of the second edition of Fundamentals of Environmental Sampling and Analysis will also find:

• Three new chapters and expanded sections on numerous topics
• Detailed discussion of subjects including passive sampling, incremental sampling, Raman spectroscopy, and many more
• Over 500 sample problems and solutions along with other supplementary instructional materials

Fundamentals of Environmental Sampling and Analysis is ideal for students of environmental science and engineering as well as professionals and regulators for whom environmental data has value.
