DESCRIPTION:
Illicit drugs are an emerging class of environmental contaminants and mass spectrometry is the technique of choice for their analysis. An important resource for analytical chemists, environmental researchers, forensic scientists, biologists, and toxicologists.. This landmark reference discusses the analytical techniques used to detect illicit drugs in wastewater and surface water, details how to estimate the levels of contaminants in the environment, and explores the behavior, fate, and toxic effects of this new class of contaminants, now a ubiquitous presence in wastewater and surface water. The book details how an estimate of illicit drug consumption in a given population can be developed from an analys
ETTORE ZUCCATO obtained his postdoctoral degree in human nutrition in 1999 from Milan Medical School and, in 2005, became Head of the Laboratory of Food Toxicology. His current research areas include food safety, the study of dietary chemical contaminants, and other emerging issues in food toxicology.Dr. ROBERTO FANELLI serves as Head of the Enviro
Five Stars Huong C. Used book but still good information
"It provides analytical techniques, explains why illicit drugs - a new class of contaminants - have become an environmental issue, and offers instruction in how to estimate the amount of contaminants in the environment and addresses their behavior and potential toxic effects."
