Abstract
In sampling, preparation, transportation and storage of environmental materials and specimens for monitoring and banking programmes, certain strict precautions must be taken to obtain adequate information relative to the purpose of the study and the substance to be measured. Analytical chemistry begins when a sample is taken and the analyst should be fully involved from this point. Contamination of samples and loss of e. g. volatile pollutants during collection and following steps may be more of a problem in some cases than others, and specific risks of contamination and loss are described in the following.
