Analytical Chemistry News & Features, December 1, 1996
As one who got into environmental analytical chemistry by way of evaluating percent recoveries for various priority pollutants from water using SPE techniques over 10 years ago, I found it rewarding to see an Editorial (Oct. 1, p. 589 A) that recognizes the importance of this evolving discipline. The importance of environmental analytical chemistry was reflected in the fact that William Budde's letter on EPA water methods followed the Editorial, and approximately 30% of the research articles in this issue had an environmental underpinning. Recently, the Great Lakes College Chemistry Conference at Michigan State University held a series of career workshops aimed sisting undergraduates by inviting experienced chemists to discuss their career paths I believe that I surprised many at the two well-attended workshops I gave when I commented that I am an analytical chemist who works almost entirely with engineers and microbiologists Paul R.
