Summary: "The environment includes the non-living (abiotic) and living (biotic) elements that humans interact with and have effects on. The abiotic elements include air, water, and soil, whereas the biotic elements include living things such as plants and animals. Depending on the specific project, such as regulatory enforcement, regulatory compliance, routine monitoring, emergency response, and scientific research, the objectives of environmental sampling and analysis are as follows: 1. To determine how much pollutant enters an environment through stack emission, wastewater discharge, waste disposal, etc. in order to comply with a regulatory requirement. 2. To measure ambient environmental concentrations of analytes, assess the degree of pollution, and to identify short- and long-term trends. 3. To detect accidental releases and evaluate the risk and toxicity to humans and biota. 4. To study the fate and transport of contaminants and to evaluate the efficiency of pollution control and remediation systems"--Call number: Grundsignatur: 2025 E 182(2)Supplement: PPN: PPN: 1880132257
