Regulatory compliance officers, public health officials and scientists will find that 'The Biological and Environmental Chemistry of Chromium' offers a comprehensive treatment of the benefits and hazards associated with chromium and its compounds. Drawn from earlier works and current research, this volume offers extensive descriptions of the environmental chemistry associated with exposure to chromium in air, water, and food and the biochemistry of chromium involved with its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination as well as the toxicology and nutritional aspects of chromium chemistry. Special emphasis is placed on the influence of chemical speciation and effects like absorption, transportation, distribution, elimination and toxicity of chromium. Organized and indexed as a reference work on the nutritional benefits and the toxicological consequences of exposure to chromium and its compounds, food scientists, regulators clinical and environmental scientists and everyone involved with chromium and its compounds will find this up-to-date volume invaluable.

This manual brings together the procedures required or recommended by the regulatory agencies in North America for the collection, preservation and preparation of environmental samples and for the determination of heavy-metal contents. Among the methods discussed for measuring atomic absorption are flame/furnace parameters, wavelength selections, interferences, and quantation. The book cites specific procedures for regulatory compliance monitoring of air,water and wastewater, liquid and solid wastes, and biological fluids and tissue in sufficient detail to serve as primary guidance in most laboratories using the technique. It also contains a chapter on quality control and quality assurance.

Experiments in Nuclear Science

Experiments in Nuclear Science is an introductory-level laboratory manual providing hands-on opportunities for developing insights into the origins and properties of nuclear radiations, their interactions with matter, their detection and measurement, and their applications in the physical and life sciences. Based on experiments successfully performed by hundreds of students at Rutgers University and the University of Wisconsin, this manual can be used as a stand-alone volume or alongside a textbook such as Introduction to Nuclear Science by Jeff C. Bryan. Relevant to a range of courses Each of the 32 exercises includes an overview of the scientific phenomenon, instructions for conducting the experiments and recording the data, directions for analyzing the data and reporting the results, specific questions relating to the experiments, and several problems relating to the scientific phenomena being investigated. Validated for safety and pedagogy in the undergraduate instructional laboratory, the exercises can be used in an undergraduate course in nuclear science. Individual exercises can also be adopted to demonstrate fundamental principles in a general science course as well as introductory biology and chemistry courses. Making use of off-the-shelf instrumentation, these exercises can be performed in a conventional laboratory under the supervision of an experienced instructor. Applicable to numerous career fields Demonstrating fundamental principles, the concepts explored through these experiments are relevant to a host of career opportunities, including those in the health sciences, the nuclear power industry, regulatory agencies, and waste management services.
