Analytical Chemistry of PCBs

by Mitchell D. Erickson

Overview

This updated and expanded Second Edition of Dr. Erickson's Analytical Chemistry of PCBs appears a decade after the first and is completely revised and updated. The changes from the First Edition reflect the significant growth in the area and a growing appreciation of the importance of PCB analysis to our culture. This book is a comprehensive review of the analytical chemistry of PCBs. It is part history, part annotated bibliography, part comparison, and part guidance. Featuring a new chapter on analyst/customer interactions and several new appendices, the Second Edition is an invaluable resource for both chemists with no experience in PCB analysis and seasoned PCB researchers.
All topics have been more thoroughly treated and updated in this new edition to reflect advances made in the last decade, especially:

Editorial Reviews

Reviews PCB analysis, providing both general and detailed critical examinations of the PCB literature. Covers standard methods, including tables and critical reviews of methods used in the US and elsewhere for PCBs in the environment, food, and other matrices. Addresses customer/analyst interactions, demonstrating how to achieve successful communication when PCB analyses must be performed. Provides an overview of PCB background, including physical and chemical properties, destruction techniques, manufacturing and use history, environmental fate and transport, and technology.
