Summary:

About the Book: Degrading quality of environment due to increasing industrialization and urbanization has become a matter of great concern. The information about the parameters affecting their quality is the prime requirement to meet the menace. This book Practical Methods for Water and Air Pollution Monitoring brings together the various experimental methods for analyzing the available parameters. It studies various parameters of sampling and analysis of water, and describes theories of different techniques used for water analysis and air monitoring. Thus, it should be of great help in our pragmatic approach. The book should be of great use to the field monitoring personnel, lab analysts as well as to students of environmental sciences at the undergraduate level. I do hope that this (the book) shall be enthusiastically made use of by middle-level personnel in the field and in the laboratories.... Dr. G.D. Agarwal Former Member-Secretary Central Pollution Control Board, New Delhi Contents: Significance of Various Parameters Defining Quality Sampling and Analysis of Water Parameters Techniques for Water Analysis Air Monitoring.
