Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The correct implementation of the ISO 14000 series of International Standards is entirely dependent on valid measurements, which in turn require the correct approach to recovery factors - yet at present there is no International Standard or Guide on the correct use of recovery factors. This means that it is incredibly problematic to obtain a real picture of whether and when the use of recovery factors is forbidden, tolerated, encouraged or required. Often the choice is left to the analyst in charge, which is a clearly unacceptable situation. The Use of Recovery Factors in Trace Analysis is a unique book, providing in one volume, all of the most up-to-date information in this field. Throughout, chemists of long experience in the use of recovery factors review the present situation and offer practical solutions based on their own experiences. This book will form the basis for a document on conformity assessment to standards proposed for acceptance by IUPAC, ISO, AOAC and Codex Alimentarius Commission, making it a must for all those who work in analytical laboratories involved in the chemistry of food, agriculture, the environment and toxicology, as well as for academics.
