Full acceptance of HPLC/MS methods by the US EPA OPP as enforcement methods occurred between 1998 and 2001. For example, in 1998, the EPA OPP accepted HPLC/MS (without MS/MS) methods as primary enforcement methods, and high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) only was suitable for confirmatory methods. However, in 2001, HPLC/MS/MS methods also became acceptable for primary enforcement. Table 4 summarizes the types of methods that were validated by the EPA OPP method validation program, for both food tolerance enforcement methods and environmental chemistry methods.

This work Is motivated by a lack of techniques for quantifying the mineral components In complex environmental solids. Programmatic Interest derives from research In the environmental chemistry of raw and retorted oil shales from the Plceance Basin In Colorado. For this reason, we chose to do exploratory research on a particular sample of raw shale. Previously XRD analysis had been performed on this sample. The XRD results are shown In Table I. XRD line Intensities for the minerals often are used to provide a rough seml-quantltatlve estimate of amount present. 

In environmental chemistry in particular it cannot be the last step of the investigation to produce data tables on pollutant concentrations. Multivariate statistical methods offer a tool for the investigation of the multifactorial and complex events in the environment. 

The basic course content is typical for an introductory environmental chemistry course (Table 2.2). The syllabus is flexible and is modified to support the research projects. For example, when projects related to recycling are pursued, then topics related to polymers, plastics and paper chemistry are covered in detail. However, when biodiesel was the focus of a laboratory-based project (described below), then less time was spent on recycling-related topics and various organic chemistry topics were added. The syllabus is intentionally flexible and... 

Surely, many such common reactions could be utilized for the intentional destruction of unwanted herbicides and their residues (41). Metham might be caused to react simply with aqueous ammonia to form harmless methylthiourea many herbicides including prometryne and metribuzin (Sencor) might be degraded by dilute hypochlorite ("chlorinated lime") of the type used to purify swimming pools, and the photodecomposition of others (such as 2,4,5-T) might be accelerated by cheap nontoxic photosensitizers such as acetone (Table III) (42). The variations of environmental chemistry applications to control and direct herbicide persistence and effectiveness now appear endless. 

If one prepares a solution of 1 mol L-1 NaCl, it is not clear whether there will be 1 mol L 1 Na+ or 1 mol L 1 Cl-, because the two ions may react with each other or with other chemical species in solution to form additional solution species with different valencies. For example, assuming that the NaCl solution contains also lead (Pb2+), Pb2+ and Cl- would react with each other to form the dissolved chemical species PbCl+, PbCl2, and so on. Chemists distinguish the two situations (free vs. paired solution species) by referring to the total dissolved concentration of an element as formality (F), and to the concentration of certain known dissolved chemical species (e.g., Na+ and Pb2+) as molarity (M) (Table 1.9). Field practitioners of environmental chemistry almost always refer to concentrations of elements because it is total dissolved concen-... 

Introduction actinide solubilities in reference waters. In this section, the environmental chemistry of the actinides is examined in more detail by considering three different geochemical environments. Compositions of groundwater from these environments are described in Tables 5 and 6. These include (i) low-ionic-strength reducing waters from crystalline rocks at nuclear waste research sites in Sweden (ii) oxic water from the J-13 well at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, the site of a proposed repository for high-level nuclear waste in tuffaceous rocks and (iii) reference brines associated with the WIPP, a repository for TRU in...

The LFERs described in preceding sections are but a subset of the attribute relationships that have been developed to relate the environmental behavior of compounds (in particular their bioactivity) to their structural or equilibrium properties (e.g., PARs and SARs see Table 1). The original impetus for research on PARs and SARs was the need to predict the effectiveness of new drugs and medicines, but in recent years this subject has become an important area of environmental chemistry. 

Now besides Canada, there are different places in Germany where partial order theory and partially its software WHASSE are used. Beyond this scientific groups in Denmark and Italy are actively contributing to new applications and new theoretical concepts. Table 1 lists some activities mainly in the field of environmental chemistry.
