This volume investigates the application of ion chromatography in analyzing environmental pollution, building upon previous research and proceedings. It compiles papers presented at a conference hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1978, focusing on the analytical techniques and findings related to various forms of environmental contamination. The collection aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of ion chromatographic analysis for environmental monitoring during that period.

This collection of proceedings from a 1978 EPA conference offers a snapshot of ion chromatographic analysis techniques for environmental pollution at that time. The inclusion of bibliographical references and an index suggests a resource intended for researchers and practitioners in environmental science and analytical chemistry. Its value lies in documenting the state of the art and specific applications discussed during that period.
