Evaluation of Laboratory Methods for Analysis of Heavy Metals in Water

reports on the activities of the Analytical Reference Service of the Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center. Since February 1959,1 the following agencies have joined the program: Alabama Water Improvement Commission; Flint (Mich.) Department of Public Works and Utilities; Canadian Department of National Health and Welfare, Ottawa, Ont, and Vancouver, B.C. ; Tennessee Valley Authority, Chattanooga, Tenn., and Wilson Dam, Ala.; US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Colo. The report of the first studies and a description of the purpose and scope of the program were published in an earlier issue of the Journal.1 This study on analytical methods for heavy metals in water is a natural sequel to the original studies on minerals.
