Environmental Chemometrics: Principles and Modern Applications

Grady Hanrahan Provides a modern introduction and practical guide to chemometrics methods written by a practicing expert Meets the need for both introductory and more advanced coursework Presents basic principles of chemometric methods together with real applications in the field of environmental chemistry Includes a contribution from Charles Lochmueller on quality assurance and method validation Can be matched with a lab manual that covers the practical side and contains solutions to the problems presented in the main text

To keep pace with the rapidly emerging area of chemometrics, this volume presents basic principles together with real applications in environmental chemistry. It provides an overview in relation to quantitative environmental analysis, and a review of descriptive statistical concepts. It covers environmental sampling considerations, experimental design, and optimization techniques, and multivariate analysis of environmental and chemical data sets. The book also covers quality assurance and method validation. Each chapter contains exercises and research applications from noted experts. The author has also written a lab manual (cat no. 6794X) to accompany the text.
