main objective of discovering the relationships among multiple
variables and samples. Enter chemometrics, with its powerful
tools for design, analysis, and data interpretation of complex

The text begins with an overview of chemometrics in relation to
quantitative environmental analysis and a review of descriptive
statistical concepts. Building on this, the author covers
environmental sampling considerations, experimental design and
optimization techniques, multivariate analysis of environmental
and chemical data sets, time series analysis, and quality
assurance and method validation. Each chapter contains
problem-oriented exercises and research applications from the
author’s own work and from other experts in the field.

The author’s presentation of the basic principles of these
methods together with real applications in the field of
environmental chemistry makes the comprehension of complex
environmental problems and chemically-related concepts more
accessible. He covers all major areas of environmental analysis
backed by studies from experts in the field. The book is a
valuable tool for understanding the rapidly developing world of
chemometric methods in environmental analysis.
