Hill, Berton F., Ed. – 1973
Presented is a collection of research reports of college-age investigators. The work of the students demonstrates one way in which reliable and illuminating data on local problems of societal importance can be gathered and analyzed in relatively short time-spans for very little money. Water-related studies, health-related and basic environmental…

Chase, D. L.; And Others – 1972
Total mercury in ambient air can be collected in iodine monochloride, but the subsequent analysis is relatively complex and tedious, and contamination from reagents and containers is a problem. A sliver wool collector, preceded by a catalytic pyrolysis furnace, gives good recovery of mercury and simplifies the analytical step. An instrumental…
