A comprehensive set of real-world environmental laboratory experiments This complete summary of laboratory work presents a richly detailed set of classroom-tested experiments along with background information, safety and hazard notes, a list of chemicals and solutions needed, data collection sheets, and blank pages for compiling results and findings. This useful resource also: Focuses on environmental, i.e., "dirty" samplesStresses critical concepts like analysis techniques and documentationIncludes water, air, and sediment experimentsIncludes an interactive software package for pollutant fate and transport modeling exercisesFunctions as a student portfolio of documentation abilitiesOffers instructors actual samples of student work for troubleshooting, notes on each procedure, and procedures for solutions preparation.

“ … a most useful book to base the experimental aspects of an undergraduate environmental course on.” (Applied Organometallic Chemistry, May 2005) "...a good reference for educators involved in the design of an introductory environmental or instrumental chemistry laboratory." (Journal of Chemical Education, March 2005)"Dunnivant offers some very good experiments in this book...the student CD-ROM was easy to enter and use." (CHOICE, February 2005)"…this volume is an excellent set of environmental/analytical chemistry experiment." (Microchemical Journal, December 17, 2004)"This textbook lays out standards for lab notebooks that might one day become evidence in a pollution case." (Environmental Science & Technology, December 2004)
