In conjunction with the 28th Rocky Mountain Conference Denver, Colorado ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY OF CONTAMINANTS IN SURFACE AND GROUND HATERS - JULY 31 AND AUGUST 1 Faculty: Dr. E. Michael Thurnan, Research Hydrologlst, Organic Research Group, U.S. Geological Survey. Denver, CO. Is active In organic geochemistry, analysts of organic substances In natural and polluted waters, and the movement of organic pollutants In ground water. He is the author of the recent book. Organic Chemistry of Natural Haters. Or. Michael Reddy, Hydrologlst. U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, CO, Is a physical chemist studying the Interaction of a d d rain with geological materials. He Is the author of over 30 published articles and book chapters dealing with aquatic chemistry and has 3 years of college teaching experience. Course Synopsis: Ttils course presents a comprehensive understanding of the methods of sampling and analysis of water for Inorganic and organic contaminants, showing the environmental chemist the tools currently available for sampling and measurement of major Ions, trace elements, and organic constituents In natural and contaminated ground and surface waters. The course emphasizes representative sampling, sample preservation, and analytical methodology. Modern chemical methods for water analyses U C P , graphite furnace AA. IC, GC. LC. GC/MS) and methods of sample preparation »re explained. Current commercial equipment Is discussed with emphasis placed on Instrument function to water samples of low to high Ionic strength. This course Is Intended for anyone Involved In the environmental chemistry of water. The participant will gain an overall knowledge of Instrument function, use and application to water samples. Practical examples of ground water contamination and acid rain are used to illustrate general concepts and approaches to chemical analysis. [ee

which there are genetic systems for the selection of induced aneuploidy. However, the authors correctly urge the necessity of caution in the extrapolation of such yeast data to higher organisms. The remaining chapters cover the mutagenicity of cooked foods, indoor and outdoor air, particulates, pulp and paper mill effluents, and surface water. The final chapter, which deals with ionizing radiation, is perhaps the only example in this book in which mutagenicity data played a role in the establishment of control measures. In summary, although this book is not a comprehensive reference work on the testing of environmental mixtures and the application of such data to the control of environmental pollution, it does contain a number of interesting chapters. Given the relatively small number of pages it might appeal to those desiring a quick survey of the topic. Those purchasing this book based on the title could be disappointed, however.
INTERPRETATION Of ORGANIC MASS SPECTRA - AUGUST 7 - 8 , Faculty: Ms, C. M. Moynlhan Is the analytical chemist responsible for the operation of the Organic Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, Rockwell International Corporation, Golden, CO. and Is actively involved In a variety of organic mass spectral research projects using both low resolution GC/MS/OS and high resolution MS techniques. Dr. J. A. Zlrrollt (Capt. USAF) Is Chief of Energetic Materials Science Division, the Frank J. Seller Research Laboratory, USAF Academy, CO. He Is a member of the American Society of Mass Spectrometry and Is affiliated with the Mass Spectrometry Research Resource Center, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO. Course Synopsis: This course describes the fundamental principles of mass spectrometry and applies them to the Identification of organic compounds. Sample Introduction, Ionization, mass analysis and detection are discussed with emphasis on molecular Ion analysis and simple fragmentation processes. The mass spectra characteristic of compound classes; alcohols, esters, ketones, etc. are explained. The course develops an approach to the determination of elemental composition and diagnostic fragmentation patterns. The course uses as a reference the text. Interpretation of Mass Spectra, Third Edition, by F.H. McLafferty. University Science Books. 1980. The course Is designed as an Introduction to mass spectrometry and Is Intended for anyone needing a basic knowledge of mass spectrometry or mass spectral interpretation. Prior knowledge or experience in mass spectrometry is not required. Lee" ACS members. $150, non-members, $175.
SAMPLING OF SOLID AND LIQUID WASTES - THEORY AND PRACTICE - AUGUST 7-8 Faculty: Mr. Francis F. Pltard Is a Consulting Sampling Chemist In Broomfleld, CO. He has over 20 years of experience In the natural resources industry, working 6 Energy Commission and 15 years with Amax Extractive Research
Statistician and Analytical progressive and management years for the French Atomic J. Development. Inc.
Course Synopsis: This advanced course presents the general theory of sampling particulate materials. The theory presented Is applicable to both solid and liquid wastes and Is particularly suited to establish sampling methodologies for quality control programs and optimizing waste management. Many existing practices currently used In the Industry are Incorrect, leading to biased sampling. Even though this bias can be substantial It often Is undetected. The theory presented was pioneered by Or. Pierre M. Gy and has been taught In more than 20 countries. Practical examples encountered in real working situations are emphasized. Although advanced mathematical techniques were important 1n the development of this theory, the mathematics In this course are held to a minimum. It is recommended that attendees bring a pocket calculator and ruler, and each attendee will receive the textbook. Sampling of Particulate Materials - Theory and Practice by Dr. Pierre M. Gy. Oeveropments 1n Geomathematics 4. Elsevier Scientific Publishing Company. 1982. The course is recommended for analytical chemists, quality control managers, and regulatory analysts involved in chemical process plants, water/waste water and solid waste treatment plants, recycling processes, or mining, m i n i n g , and smelting operations.
