Specific Text Resources

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (3rd Edition), B. Welz and M. Sperling, Wiley, NY, ISBN: 3-527-28571-7, 964 pp., 1999

General information from the publisher's web page: Atomic absorption spectroscopy, AAS, is an analytical method that utilizes the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by individual atoms. This title provides a thorough introduction to the physical concepts as well as to the inherent methodology and will give a broad, authoritative survey of all kinds of applications.

Chapters:

Development of Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
Physical Fundamentals
Spectrometers
Atomizers und Atomization Techniques: Flame Atomization/Electrothermal Atomization/Chemical Volatilization
Mechanization and Automation
Individual Elements.

Specific comments: While I have not reviewed this edition of the book, I have seen previous editions. The author is an acknowledged expert in atomic absorption and provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date information available on the technique in textbook form.
