A comprehensive set of real-world environmental laboratoryexperiments
This complete summary of laboratory work presents a richlydetailed set of classroom-tested experiments along with backgroundinformation, safety and hazard notes, a list of chemicals andsolutions needed, data collection sheets, and blank pages forcompiling results and findings. This useful resource also:
* Focuses on environmental, i.e., "dirty" samples
* Stresses critical concepts like analysis techniques anddocumentation
* Includes water, air, and sediment experiments
* Includes an interactive software package for pollutant fate andtransport modeling exercises
* Functions as a student portfolio of documentationabilities
* Offers instructors actual samples of student work fortroubleshooting, notes on each procedure, and procedures forsolutions preparation.
