Analysts: Analytical Science in Action

Synopsis
Looks at the role played by analytical science in everyday life: analytical data ensures the quality of the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink. Uses four case studies to illustate the work of analytical scientists in testing the safety of common products and in the formulation and testing of new pharmaceutical products. Also shows how a laboratory tests for evidence of the illegal use of drugs, and how analytical science is used to protect the environment by testing for contamination in soil, or for harmful engine emissions.
