✦ Synopsis
This book is an update and extension of two previously successful volumes on the topic published in 1983 and 1984. The book is a powerful, comprehensive, extensive, and exhaustive (3323 references) collection of work on the topic of atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), both flame and furnace, through mid-1993. The applications are primarily in the determination of metals or elements in biological samples. The book consists of 42 separate chapters, with each chapter devoted to one element. A typical chapter consists of eight or so pages and includes tables which list the concentration of that metal or element in human body fluids and tissues, the AAS technique for determining the element in biological and related samples, and selected AAS procedures. Given the developments in AAS since the first two volumes, particularly in graphite furnace AAS (chemical modifiers, background correction, furnace design, etc.), the book is topical and appropriate. This book is a must for any laboratory that needs a reference.
