Abstract:

"The signature undertaking of the Twenty-Second Edition was clarifying the QC practices necessary to perform the methods in this manual. Section in Part 1000 were rewritten, and detailed QC sections were added in Parts 2000 through 7000. These changes are a direct and necessary result of the mandate to stay abreast of regulatory requirements and a policy intended to clarify the QC steps considered to be an integral part of each test method. Additional QC steps were added to almost half of the sections."

Choice Review

This 1,300-plus-page book is the "bible" for physical and chemical analysis of drinking water, wastewater, surface water, and groundwater. It is the 22nd edition of a manual that has been available for more than a century (1st ed., 1905). The bulk of the text consists of detailed procedures for quantitative analysis including physicochemical properties, metals, other inorganics, aggregate and specific organics, radioactivity, toxicity, microbes, and higher organisms. Beyond its function as a cookbook, the first 67-page section is a thorough procedural guide on sampling, quality assurance, lab safety, lab waste minimization and disposal, and other ancillary topics, which would be useful material for a course on quantitative methods. The book is also noteworthy for its 27 black-and-white and 8 color plates illustrating aquatic organisms. The readership will primarily be persons involved in laboratory analysis of waster and wastewater, whether for quality control in treatment facilities or in research laboratories. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners. D. A. Vaccari Stevens Institute of Technology
