Handbook of Environmental Fate and Exposure Data For Organic Chemicals, Volume V

by Philip H. Howard

Overview

In order to assess the health and environmental effects of a chemical, you need to determine the exposure of the chemical to sensitive organisms as well as to assess the likely effects. The chemicals in Volume V of the Handbook of Environmental Fate and Exposure Data for Organic Chemicals set are mostly solvents and cover many of the natural products and hydrochlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons being considered as replacements for harmful chlorinated solvents and chlorofluorocarbons. The chemicals are listed in alphabetical order by their most easily recognized names. A cumulative index allows you to look up each chemical by chemical name synonym, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number, and chemical formula. Like all of the volumes in the series, this new volume details how individual chemicals are released, transported, and degraded in the environment, as well as how they are exposed to humans and environmental organisms.

Features

Provides useful information for hazardous waste cleanup

Helps you to make exposure assessments

Provides workplace exposure and ambient monitoring data as well as detection in foods

Includes information on environmental persistence and transport

Includes highly reliable data prepared by a well-known firm in environmental fate

Editorial Reviews

Using extensive lists of references for each compound, the authors present data for the interaction between each substance and soil, water, and air. For many chemicals, interactions with foods, animals, plants, and humans are also provided. The quantities and location of each substance as it occurs in the environment are listed, and the chemical and physical properties of the compounds, such as boiling and melting points, molecular weight, water solubility, vapor pressure and Henry's Law constant, are given.

This handbook assembles much valuable information from a wide variety of sources. It is a tool engineers concerned with any of these materials will want on their bookshelf.

C. B. Beck

Spells out in detail how individual chemicals behave in the environment and how they are exposed to humans and environmental organisms during their production, use, transport, and disposal. Entries review and evaluate physical/chemical properties, commercial use, possible sources of environmental contamination, environmental fate, and monitoring data of individual solvents. The solvents are listed alphabetically and cover many of the natural products, HCFCs and HFCs that are being considered as replacements for chlorinated solvents and CFC uses.
