Abstract

Composition analysis of air, water, and soil often involves the use of the same type of equipment, though the sampling and pretreatment methods differ. In this chapter, composition analysis is separated into organic analysis and inorganic analysis, including pretreatment methods, with brief explanations of typical equipment. Gas chromatography [GC (FID), GC (ECD)], mass spectrometry [GC/MS, LC/MS], and high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC] are introduced in the discussion of organic analysis and ion chromatography [IC], atomic absorption spectrometry [AAS], and inductively coupled plasma [ICP-AES/MS] are introduced in the discussion of inorganic analysis.
