Purpose ‘Thegatlezing and interpretation of qualitative, quantitative aa staetural infor ‘mation is essential to many aspects of human endeavor, both terrestrial ancl cextracerrestrial. The maintenance of, and improvement in, the quality of life throughout the world, and the management of resources rely heavily on the infomation provided by chemical analysis, Manufacturing industries use analytical data to monitor the quality of raw materials, intermediates and Section A~ The nature and scope of analytical chemistry ‘Scope and applications finished products, Progsess and sescarch in many areas is dependent on estab hing the chemical composition of man-made or natural materials, and the ‘monitoring of toxic substances in the environment is of ever increasing impor- tance, Studies of biolbgical and other complex systems are supported by the collection of large amounts of analytical data, Analytical data are required in a wide range of disciplines and situations that include not just chemistry and mast cther sciences, from biology to zoology, bat the arts, such as painting and sculpture, and archaeology. Space explorationand clinical diagnosis are two quite disparate areas in which analytical data is vital Important areas of application include the following, © Quality control (QO. In many manufacturing industries, the chemical ‘composition of raw materials, intermesiates and finished products needs to bbe monitored to ensure satisfactory quality and consistency. Virtually all consumer products from automobiles to clething, pharmaceuticals and food- stuffs, destrial goods, sports equipment and horticultural products wly, in part, on chemical analysis, The food, pharmaceutical and water industries in particularhave stringent requirements backed by legislation for major com rents and permitted levels of impurities or contaminants, The electronics Industry needs analyses at ultra-iracelevels (parts per bllior) in elation tothe ‘manufacture of semi-conductor materials. Automated, computer-contralled [procedures for process-stream analysis are employed in some industries, '* Monitoring and control of pollutants The presence of toxic heavy actals (eg, lead, cadmium and mercury), organic chemicals (e.g, poiychlonnated biphenyls and detergents) and vehide exhaust gases (oxides of carbon. nnilzogen and sulfur, and hyd ecarbons) in the environment are health hazards that need to be monitored by sensitive and accurate methods of analyss, and remedial action taken, Major sources of pollution are gaseous, solid and liquid ‘wastes that are discharged or dumped from industrial sites, and vehicle exhaust gases. ‘© Clinical and biological studies. The levels of important nutrients, including trace metals (eg, sodium, potassium, calcium and zine), naturally produced chemicals, such as cholesterol, sugarsand urea, and administered drugs in the ‘body fluids of patients undergoing hospital treatment require monioring Speed of analysis is often a crucial factorand automated procedureshavebeen designed for such analyses. © Geological assays. The commercial Value of ores and minerals is determined by the levels of particular metals, which must be accurately established, Highly accurate and reliable analytical procedures must be used for this purpose, and referee laboratories are sometimes employed where disputes ‘© Fundamental and applied research.
