Synopsis

Coxmoor Publishing Companyıs Spectroscopy Series of Handbooks is intended to be a library of books introducing concisely the concepts, basic theory and methodology, together with some application examples, of the many spectroscopic techniques used today. This exciting new Series is being launched this year (2008) with this volume, which is devoted to analytical Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, co-authored by Professor Alfredo Sanz-Medel and Dr. Rosario Pereiro. Other volumes will follow at regular intervals, each authored or co-authored by internationally recognised experts in the field.) Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) is not a new technique; its roots can be traced back to the 19th century, and it is at the core of elemental analysis techniques; modern analytical AAS has evolved from the pioneering work in the 1950s at the CSIRO (Commonwealth Science and Industry Research Organisation) in Melbourne, Australia, by a team led by Alan Walsh. AAS measures the concentration of gas-phase atoms through their characteristic absorption of light at element-characteristic wavelengths. As described in this book, while underlying many more advanced methods of elemental analyses, AAS remains today a basic, cost-effective workhorse analytical technique for elemental analysis in many laboratories.
