Analytical Techniques for Acid-Rain Analysis

This book is unique of its kind. No doubt this is a very useful reference for students and researchers in multi-disciplinary subjects viz. Environmental Sciences, Plant Sciences, Physical Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Life Sciences, etc. The book was written in such a way as to give ideas or trained to analyze plant materials using various experimental techniques. Again, the growing trend in the field of Environmental Sciences demands understanding the acid-rain induced effects and defects on environmental materials of diverse nature. In this book, we have described a thorough analysis of acid-rain-induced effects in a plant system (Bacopa monnieri). Keeping the above objective aspects in view, we have discrete the proposed book into 10 chapters. Each chapter (Introduction, Principle, Sampling, Experimental, Results, and Discussion) describes only one experimental technique such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), Proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), Light microscopy (LM), UV-Vis spectrometry (UV-Vis) and pH techniques, etc.
