This book describes the precautions that must be taken from the sampling to the sample pretreatment via the storage stage to assure good quality. Typical pitfalls - and recommendations for avoiding them - are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the monitoring of trace contaminants in environmental matrices (e. g., water, sediment, plants, air).This book, based on the experience of specialists, constitutes an invaluable guide to the q 606 $aPollution$xMeasurement$xQuality control 606 $aEnvironmental sampling$xQuality control 615 0$aPollution$xMeasurement$xQuality control. 615 0$aEnvironmental sampling$xQuality control. 676 $a363.7363 676 $a628.50287 701 $aQuevauviller$b Ph$0862142 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830572103321 996 $aQuality assurance in environmental monitoring$92002549 997 $aUNINA
