No references to the original literature are given in the text. This is because the introduction of such references would have considerably increased the size and therefore the price of the book. However, a discussion on the literature of analytical chemistry is given in the Appendix. With the aid of the various volumes mentioned therein — which should be available in all libraries of analytical chemistry — and the Collective Indexes of Chemical Abstracts or of British Chemical Abstracts, little difficulty will, in general, be experienced in finding the original sources of most of the determinations described in the book.

Appendixes and Endpapers. Included in the appendixes are an updated guide to the literature of analytical chemistry, tables of chemical constants, electrode potentials, and recommended compounds for the preparation of standard materials sections on the use of logarithms and exponential notation, and on normality and equivalents (terms that are not used in the text itself) and a derivation of the propagation of error equations. The inside front and back covers of this book provide a full-color chart of chemical indicators, a table of molar masses of com-... 

The primary and secondary literature of analytical chemistry is a major source of new methods, techniques, variations of older methods, and of innovation. ACS publishes two premier journals. Analytical Chemistry and Environmental Science and Technology, that should be frequently consulted. The biennial reviews in Analytical Chemistry cover topics of interest to TEQA. There exists a host of other very relevant scientific journals and reviews such as the International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, Analytica Chimica Acta, Journal of Chromatography, Journal of Chromatographic Science, Chemosphere, and others that contain useful articles. Trade journals that arrive for free to qualified professionals include the following ... 

Two further points maybe mentioned in connection with this example. Firstly, the literature of analytical chemistry shows that authors frequently place great stress on the value of the correlation coefficient in such comparative studies. In the above example, however, it played no direct role in establishing whether or not systematic errors had... 

All chapters have been revised and updated with recent references to the literature of analytical chemistry. Among the chapters that have been changed extensively are those on mass spectrometry (Chapters 11 and 20), surface characterization (Chapter 21), voltammetry (Chapter 25), chromatography (Chapters 26 and 27), and thermal analysis (Chapter 31). Throughout the book, new and updated methods and techniques are described, and photos of specific commercial instruments have been added where appropriate. Some of these modern topics include plasma spectrometry, fluorescence quenching and lifetime measurements, tandem mass spectrometry, and biosensors. 

The literature of analytical chemistry includes a number of major treatises. One of the older ones, which is now rather dated though still of some value because of its comprehensive nature, is... 

Probably the most extensive use of particle morphology and microscopy has been in the area of chemical microscopy. With this approach, derivatives of the analyte species are prepared, crystallized, and identified through the morphological characteristics of these derivatives [21]. Most of these applications have been superseded by modem methods of analysis, but the microscopic method can still be used by skilled practitioners for the study of trace quantities of analyte. The literature developed during the heyday of chemical microscopy is too large to be reviewed here, but advances in the field are still chronicled in the Annual Reviews issue of Analytical Chemistry [22]. A substantial review of the optical characteristics of organic compounds is available [23]. 

The distribution of componentsof binary solid solutions over the solid phase and the aqueous phase has been studied for a number of systems. Table I contains a summary of some of these systems with references. This literature review is not complete more data are available especially for rare earth and actinide compounds, which primarily obey type I Equations to a good approximation. In the following sections, the theory above will be applied to some special systems which are relevant to the fields of analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, mineralogy, oceanography and biominerals.

Gas chromatography is one of the most active areas of analytical chemistry, but many references in GC will be found in sources other than just chromatography or analytical chemistry. Thus, literature searches should take one to the journals on topics where GC may be utilized, for example, journals of biochemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, catalysis, environmental studies, drug analysis, forensic chemistry, petroleum chemistry, inorganic chemistry. 

A number of reviews can be consulted for an introduction to the fundamentals both theoretical and practical covering XPS. These include Riggs and Parker (2) and the book by Carlson (3). Electron spectroscopy is reviewed in alternate years in the Fundamental Reviews issue of Analytical Chemistry. The last literature review was published in 1980 (4) and this and previous reviews can be consulted for a coverage of all aspects of the literature of XPS. A number of recent symposia have been held on applications of surface analytical methods in various aspects of materials science such as the symposium on characterization of molecular structures of polymers by photon, electron, and ion probes at the March 1980 American Chemical Society meetings in Houston ( 5) and the International Symposium on Physiochemical Aspects of Polymer Surfaces at this meeting as well as the symposium on industrial applications of surface analysis of which this article is a part. Review articles on various applications of XPS in materials science are listed in Table I. 

In spite of these handicaps, we believe that this comprehensive literature review shows the growing importance of this relatively new branch of analytical chemistry. 

The development of green Foodomics runs parallel to the improvement and design of techniques able to assess the environmental impact of the different protocols/processes/operations involved. At present several techniques can be found in the literature to test, for instance, the impact of analytical chemistry methods (such as the Greeness profile, the HPLC-EAT, or the Analytical Eco-Scale) and the environmental impacts associated with a product or process, over its entire life cycle (such as Life Cycle Assessment). Nevertheless, techniques able to provide a more holistic view of the different aspects... 

Most chemometricians prefer inverse methods, but most traditional analytical chemistry texts introduce the classical approach to calibration. It is important to recognise that there are substantial differences in terminology in the literature, the most common problem being the distinction between V and y variables. In many areas of analytical chemistry, concentration is denoted by V, the response (such as a spectroscopic peak height) by y However, most workers in the area of multivariate calibration have first been introduced to regression methods via spectroscopy or chromatography whereby the experimental data matrix is denoted as 6X , and the concentrations or predicted variables by y In this paper we indicate the experimentally observed responses by V such as spectroscopic absorbances of chromatographic peak areas, but do not use 6y in order to avoid confusion. 

Inasmuch as there is a lack of the more exact bases analogous to those on which the science of analytical chemistry is built, methods must sometimes be used which are not encountered in scientific research. Basically, however, the methods of modem dye analysis involve the same general principles as the classical analytical procedures. First of all, one must rely upon the available literature to gain a clear opinion as to how to proceed. Today, this literature is not contained, or is contained in only exceptional cases, in the scientific publications which are eventually collected in reference books like those of Beilstein and Gmelin-Kraut. There are, however, other sources which are useful in many cases. These sources are published patents, the trade journals of dye chemistry, and technical communications, all of which may give hints about a product in question. 

T he theory, technique, and applications of atomic absorption spectros-copy (AAS) are well known to chemists and are described extensively in the literature, which is estimated at nearly 1,000 papers a year. Excellent sources of information are the Annual Review issues (April) of Analytical Chemistry and the Annual Reports on Analytical Atomic Absorption from the Society for Analytical Chemistry, London. Several pertinent references are listed by Hughes et al. (1). Some books found generally useful are listed in the bibliography (2, 3,4).
