Instrumental analysis in environmental chemistry: liquid and solid phase detection systems

dealing with analytical methods applicable to environmental chemistry. The methods have been separated and discussed according to the ultimate state of the analyte during instrumental detection-whether gas, liquid, or solid. The first paper covered detection in the gas phase (Stedman and Meyers 1974). This paper discusses methods which depend upon detection in the liquid or solid phase. Thus, according to our somewhat arbitrary separation, methods which analyze solids or liquids after vaporizing them, such as gas chromatography or mass spectrometry, are not included in the present review. For procedures of this type and for listings of selected books and scientific periodicals pertaining to analytical chemistry, the reader is referred to the earlier paper. Several additional journals which describe advances specifically related to environmental analysis include:
