Coverage includes:

• conventional chromatographic methods
• accommodating clean up
• preparing substances for further instrumental analysis

This volume is a practical resource showing how to choose the most effective techniques for assessing the toxicity of chemicals in both food and the environment. Examining a wide range of volatile compounds from toxic aldehydes and pesticides to micotoxins and dioxins, Chromatographic Analysis of Environmental and Food Toxicants

• describes standard instrumental methods, including gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry
• details the use of conventional column and thin-layer chromatography for sample preparations
• features state-of-the-art methodologies for isolating and quantitating toxic substances
• surveys analytical work done on toxicants in the last three decades
• and more!

Containing references, tables, drawings, and photographs that reinforce the material discussed, this dependable guide is ideal for analytical, food, agricultural, and oil chemists; environmental scientists; toxicologists; biochemists; biologists; microbiologists; and students in these disciplines.
