The two-volume hardcover NBS Special Publication 422 contains 100 papers presented at the 7th Materials Research Symposium sponsored by the NBS Institute for Materials Re­ search October 7-11,1974. At that symposium, 400 scientists from 17 countries discussed the latest informa­ tion available on trace chemical analy­ sis. How accurate are measurements of chemicals that are present only in very small quantities in foods, tissues, water, air, and other materials? What factors contribute to accurate mea­ surements? How can the reliability of trace chemical measurements be im­ proved? Answers to these questions as well as requirements for accurate mea­ surements of trace chemicals by regu­ latory agencies are examined in detail.

This manual, published by the Jarrell-Ash Division, contains important data on all elements that can be ana­ lyzed with any type of AA system. In­ dividual "element sheets" present basic parameters for each analysis, possible interferences, background corrections, preparations of standard solutions, extraction procedures, spe­ cial comments on ashing or sample preparation, and complete informa­ tion on the element's flame emission properties. Following each element section is a number of detailed AA an­ alytical methods for that element in various types of samples. The back­ ground section includes an introduc­

The 112 ASTM standards methods of testing presented in this book cover diverse areas such as thermal analysis, laboratory balances, filtration materi­ als, glassware laboratory apparatus, hydrogen ion determination, hydrom­ eters, microchemical apparatus, statis­ tical methods, and particle size mea­ surement, to mention only those of in­ terest to analytical chemists. Among the new standards in this edition are a test for cathodic disbonding of pipe­ line coatings subjected to elevated or cyclic temperatures, and a recom­ mended practice for specifying limits for fading and discoloration of nonme­ tallic materials.
