Volumetric method is one of the efficient tools available, used to find the concentration of various water contaminants such as chloride, alkalinity, hardness etc. This book describes the chemistry of the volumetric analysis carried out to find the contaminant concentration as per APHA method. Chemistry behind the volumetric analysis is very important for the exact quantification of water pollutants. Basics of volumetric analysis and an introduction to safety in the Environmental Engineering lab are included. This book will be useful for all students studying Environmental Engineering, teachers, lab assistants, researchers, consultants etc.
