Here's what Readers are saying about Water and Wastewater Laboratory Techniques, Second Edition

"The book gives a very practical introduction to analytical chemistry in a water laboratory. It starts from the basics and is a guideline for good laboratory practices rather than a technical brochure on operating devices. The author certainly recognizes the trend toward instrumental multi-analyte methods, such as ion chromatography, capillary ion electrophoresis, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy/ mass spectrometry, and so on.

This is a very useful book not only for laboratory collaborators, but also for training anyone interested to understand how analytical chemistry works in the context of water and wastewater analyses. Undergraduate students, for example, would be perfectly trained after reading this book. A good laboratory operator will agree with every single page — and then give the book to their trainee for compulsory reading."

Bart Van der Bruggen is a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Leuven, Belgium.
