Editorial Reviews

...a practical collection...describing chromatographic methods for analyzing significant food and environmental contaminants and chronically toxic substances. The table of contents reflects the types of chemicals referenced in this volume. Shibamato focuses...concern on gathering adequate knowledge about uptake of substances where humans may be subjected to chronic toxicity....Many tables and illustrative figures add to the usefulness of this book. It is suitable for academic and special libraries with an interest in environmental or food toxicants and in chromatographic applications.

E:Streams

...particularly useful for people looking for general information before developing routing analysis...and for students who will find...an update application of chromatographic science in natural matrices.

Analusis

A reference showing how to choose the most effective techniques for assessing toxicity of chemicals in both food and the environment. Material is arranged by toxic substance. Describes standard instrumental methods including gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and details the use of conventional column and thin-layer chromatography for sampling preparations. Explains methods for isolating and quantifying toxic substances, and surveys analytical work done on toxicants in the last three decades. For analytical, food, agricultural, and oil chemists, environmental scientists, toxicologists, biochemists, biologists, and microbiologists. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
