Provided here is a practical introduction to atomic absorption of spectroscopy. This is a technique which is growing in importance and the problems and potential of the technique are dealt with. The emphasis is on the practical and instrumentational aspects, with the use of mathematics and theoretical spectroscopy kept to a minimum. More recent developments in the technique, including the growing use of emission spectroscopy, are also described, and the book concludes with a very useful assessment of the relative merits of the different techniques. This is especially useful to those meeting the technique for the first time or comparing it with established practices.
