RSC Publications Analytical Sciences Monographs Analytical Sciences Monographs are a series of short monographs on topics of interest to analytical chemists.
Titles available:
The Sampling of Bulk Materials by R. Smith and G.V. James The literature of analytical chemistry exhaustively covers the many techniques now available to the analyst. Sampling, the one feature common to all analyses, is in contrast only sparsely documented. Comparatively few original papers on this subject have been published in the last f i f t y years; there are very few reviews available, and perhaps as a result sampling is badly neglected in most instructional courses in analytical chemistry. This Monograph will go some way towards filling a gap in the literature and should stimulate interest in the development of sampling as a field of study.

Analysis of Airborne Pollutants in Working Atmospheres The Welding and Surface Coatings Industries by J. Moreton and N.A.R. Falla This Monograph covers the following: Part I The Welding Industry: Airborne Pollutants in Welding; Sampling of Welding Workshop Atmospheres; Analysis of Welding Fumes and Pollutant Gases. Part II The Surface Coatings Industry: Origin of Airborne Pollutants in the Surface Coatings Industry; Collection and Analysis of Gaseous Atmospheric Pollutants in the Surface Coatings Industry; Collection and Analysis of Particulate Atmospheric Pollutants in the Surface Coatings Industry; Future Trends Relating to Sampling and Analysis in the Welding and Surface Coatings Industries.

Isoenzyme Analysis by D.W. Moss This monograph attempts to draw together the most important experimental techniques which have resulted f r o m the modern recognition that enzymes frequently exist in multiple molecular forms. This monograph also indicates the advantages and limitations in isoenzyme studies of these modern analytical techniques. Hardcover 171pp 0 85186 800 2 Price £12.00 ($32.50)
Dithizone by H.M.N.H. Irving The author of this monograph, who has been closely associated with the development of analytical techniques using this reagent for many years, and who has made extensive investigations into

the properties of its complexes, has gathered together a body of historical and technical data that will be of interest to many practising analytical chemists. Analytical Sciences Monograph No. 5 (1977) Hardcover 112pp 0 85186 787 1 Price £12.50 ($33.75)
Electrothermal Atomization for Atomic Absorption Spectrometry by C.W. Fuller Since the introduction of atomic absorption spectrometry as an analytical technique, by Walsh, in 1953, the use of alternative atomization sources to the flame has been explored. A t the present time the t w o most successful alternatives appear to be the electrothermal atomizer and the inductively-coupled plasma. In this book an attempt has been made to provide the author's views on the historical development, commercial design features, theory, practical considerations, analytical parameters of the elements, and areas of application of the first of these t w o techniques, electrothermal atomization.

Pyrolysis—Gas Chromatography by R.W. May, E.F. Pearson and D. Scothern Many papers have been published, particularly over the past decade, on aspects of pyrolysis — gas chromatography. A large number of different types of apparatus have been used, on a wide range of samples. This monograph attempts to present the available knowledge in a form useful to the practising analyst, helping in the choice of an appropriate method and in the avoidance of the more common pitfalls in this, perhaps deceptively, simple technique.

The Chemical Analysis of Water General Principles & Techniques by A . L . Wilson The suitability of water for any purpose — drinking, cooking, agriculture, transport, industry, recreation — is affected by substances dissolved or suspended in it. Chemical analysis of water for human consumption has been the subject of countless books published in the past 100 years. This monograph makes a critical appraisal of the analytical principles involved in the chemical analysis of water. It is intended for those concerned with defining, establishing, controlling and reviewing programmes of water analysis.
