Summary
Summary
Sampling and Analysis of Airborne Pollutants is a compilation of recent work addressing air pollution and the measurement of airborne compounds conducted by leading environmental scientists. Themes ranging from electro-optical remote sensing to new directions in sampling techniques are represented, and topics covered include innovative sampling methods, visibility research in national parks, analysis of carbonyl compounds, artifacts in aerosol sampling, methods of volatile organic compound (VOC) sampling and analysis, data interpretation of ambient VOC data, and interpretation of data from environmental tobacco smoke.
Sampling and Analysis of Airborne Pollutants presents topical reference material that will be valuable to air pollution scientists, statisticians in air pollution, consultants, and analytical chemists.

Choice Review
Sweeping air pollution rules mandated by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 have made air sampling and analysis one of the growth industries of the decade. By utilizing papers presented at a 1990 American Chemical Society symposium, Winegar and Keith have welded together some of best examples of innovative air sampling, analysis methods, and data treatment. Beginning with an overview of the development of air toxics gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), the first 14 chapters detail sampling and analytical procedures for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and aerosols, using established and new methods. Two subsequent chapters sequentially illustrate the practical use of remote sensing for VOCs and the advantages of using a neutral rare-gas laser to monitor trace species outside the laboratory. The final four chapters offer assistance to specialists and generalists in assessing data related to airborne pollutants. The interdisciplinary nature of this book results from the diversity of workers needed to develop strategies for sampling, analyzing, and interpreting data related to tightened limits and more comprehensive control of airborne pollutants.
