PART I I METHODOLOGY Introduction In Part 11, the term Methodology covers all aspects of the application of the techniques and instrumentation of atomic absorption, emission and fluorescence spcctroscopy t o chemical analysis. The format adopted for Volume 1 has been retained, with the subject matter treated under the two principal headings of (1) General Techniques, covering the preparation of samples and standards and the interpretation of the experimental data, and (2) Applications, where specific methods of analysis are reviewed and tabulated. The classification of the range of applications into eight main fields of analysis also follows the pattern of Volume 1. Some dupiication of entries may be found in instances where a method is relevant to more than one section. 49
