The practical guide explains how to use the main analytical techniques (chromatography, spectroscopy and electrochemistry) to determine the trace amounts of harmful substances in food, drinking water, milk, juices and beverages, as well as aqueous and gas extracts from toys and child care items. The authors discuss new technologies of analytical procedures (sample cutting, sample preparation and identification of priority pollutants), capabilities of modern analytical equipment and licensed techniques of the health-chemical analysis improvement. A reader would find the description of optimal schemes of baby food and baby products analysis, as well as the ways of harmful substances in the air of children care institutions. The guide is intended for experts in the field of environmental and health monitoring, the food industry laboratories staff and health care professionals (hygienists, clinicians, toxicologists), as well as for students of chemical, environmental, biological and medical schools.
