Methods of optical spectroscopy and luminescence in analysis of natural and waste waters

The actual problem of analytical control of the state of water contamination by heavy metals, biogenic substances, organic compounds, are considered. Methods for sampling, storage and preparation of samples for analysis, preparation of standard solutions are described. Some theoretical statements making it possible to improve certain techniques are given alongside with methods of atomic emission, atomic absorption and luminescence analysis of water (determination of microquantities of transition metals, lanthanides, actinides, etc). Methods for increase of sensitivity and reliability of the analysis, its rapidity are described
