Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

The standard work on this classical method now updated.

This fourth edition retains the proven features of its predecessors, while also covering all new methods, including high resolution continuum source AAS and ultrasonic-assisted sample digestion, with technical chapters providing the necessary overview. The extensive, up-to-date and enhanced bibliography with around 6,000 citations adds to the value of this comprehensive reference source.

Clearly structured, all aspects are covered in depth and explained - from physical principles, instrumentation, general set-up, automatization, specific methods and interpretation of the data, as well as the analysis for specific elements, right up to fields of application.

Written by internationally renowned experts with a vast knowledge of the field, this is a must-have for all scientists and practitioners working with AAS now or in the future in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, and the pharma, medical and food industries, as well as metallurgy, geology, and mineralogy.
