• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

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" samples * Stresses critical concepts like analysis techniques and documentation * Includes water, air, and sediment experiments * Includes an interactive software package for pollutant fate and transport modeling exercises * Functions as a student portfolio of documentation abilities * Offers instructors actual samples of student work for troubleshooting, notes on each procedure, and procedures for solutions preparation.
