...contains a wealth of interesting information which was not available in book form until now. The book can therefore be recommended for everyone dealing with air pollution monitoring. Analusis ...will be useful to various readers for the further development and practical utilization of gas chromatography in the field of air pollution control. Biological Abstracts ...valuable reading for student and researcher alike and must be considered good value for money. The Analyst This will undoubtedly prove a useful book both for the air pollution scientist in the field and the gas chromatographer responsible for subsequent analysis at the bench.
