Standard Methods For the Examination of Water and Wastewater: 22ND Edition
This first edition of Standard Methods was published in 1905. Each subsequent edition has presented significant improvements of methodology and has enlarged its scope to include technics suitable for examination of many types of samples encountered in the assessment and control of water quality and water pollution. A brief history of Standard Methods is of interest because of its contemporary relevance. A movement for "Securing the adoption of more uniform and efficient methods of water analysis" led in the 1880's to the organization of a special committee of the Chemical Section of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences. A report of this committee, published in 1889, was entitled : A Methods, in Part, for the Sanitary Examination of Water, and for the Statement of Result, Offered for General Adoption. * Five topics were covered: (1) "free" and "albuminoid" ammonia; (2) oxygen-consuming capacity; (3) total nitrogen as nitrates and nitrites; (4) nitrogen as nitrites; and (5) statement of results.
