Scientists have found a way to use air chemistry measurements taken hundreds of feet above last year's BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill to estimate how fast gases and oil were leaking from the reservoir ...

Measurement uncertainty represents a fundamental parameter in analytical chemistry, encapsulating the range within which the true value of a measurement is expected to lie. This concept is integral to ...

Power plants of all types are under pressure to reduce equipment and laboratory testing costs. However, it is critical to test for chloride, sulfate and organics (TOC) in water and steam to meet ...

Whether 240 miles above in the International Space Station or firmly grounded on Earth, medical testing without needles wins everyone's vote. Refinements under way to current near infrared (NIR) ...

As discussed in the preceding chapters, atmospheric chemistry has become a robust scientific discipline. The fundamental science of understanding atmospheric chemistry can contribute to both core ...

High-frequency hydrogeochemical monitoring has revolutionized our understanding of surface water in the past decade by providing a detailed record of hydrologic system response to cyclical forcings (e ...

Firefighters work inside a burned structure. After California’s Eaton fire was suppressed in January, invisible gases continued to permeate the air, exposing residents and first responders to ...

Conductivity sensors can do more than just measure conductivity. Calculated values from the M800 Transmitter using conductivity data can provide valuable cycle chemistry information, confirm on-line ...

Analytical chemistry is the science of obtaining, processing, and communicating information about the composition and structure of matter. In other words, it is the art and science of determining what ...
