This chapter focuses on the chemical analysis of pollutants. It describes the analytical procedures for the measurement of suspended solids, turbidity, chloride, alkalinity, permanganate value (PV), dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and pH value in sewage effluent. The chapter also describes the methods used to investigate the extent of pollution caused by acid rain and snow. Finally, the chapter identifies the procedures for measuring particulates, acid gases and exhaust emissions.
