FOREWORD
Downloaded by 117.253.233.70 on January 31, 2016 | http://pubs.acs.org Publication Date: August 21, 1985 | doi: 10.1021/ba-1985-0210.fw001
The A D V A N C E S I N C H E M I S T R Y S E R I E S was founded in 1949
by
the American Chemical Society as an outlet for symposia and collections of data in special areas of topical interest that could not be accommodated in the Society's journals. It provides a medium for symposia that would otherwise be fragmented because their papers would be distributed among several journals or not published at all. Papers are reviewed critically according to ACS editorial standards and receive the careful attention and processing characteristic of ACS publications. Volumes in the A D V A N C E S I N C H E M I S T R Y S E R I E S maintain the
integrity of the symposia on which they are based; however, verbatim reproductions of previously published papers are not accepted. Papers may include reports of research as well as reviews, because symposia may embrace both types of presentation.

VICTOR
TUROSKI
is a graduate of Wilkes
College, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and has pursued a career in analytical chemistry at both Carter Wallace and the American Can Company. Turoski presently heads the corporate Analytical Laboratory at the James River Technical Center in Neenah, Wisconsin, and is currently involved in both fundamental and applied research in papers and various coatings. He has also published several articles in the field of environmental chemistry, primarily in the area of gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric identifications and quantitation of resin acids and priority pollutants in complex matrices. Turoski is a frequent symposium chairman in the Environmental Division of the American Chemical Society at national meetings and performs article peer review for Environmental Science and Technology.
