The contributing authors have been chosen because of their depth of knowledge and experience in air pollution work, and we are confident that this is reflected in a Handbook which will find very wide application wherever air pollution analysis is practised. Roy M. Harrison Roger Perry February 1985 Readers are recommended to follow all the usual laboratory safety pre cautions. While care has been taken to ensure that the information in this book is correct, neither the authors nor the publisher can accept responsibility for any outcome of the application of methods and procedures outlined in this book.
