Opis

A complete restructuring and updating of the classic 1982 Handbook of Chemical Property Estimation Methods (commonly known as "Lyman's Handb ook"), the Handbook of Chemical Property Estimation Methods for Enviro nmental and Health Science reviews and recommends practical methods fo r estimating environmentally important properties of organic chemicals . One of the most eagerly anticipated revisions in scientific publishi ng, the new Handbook includes both a foreword and a chapter by Dr. Lym an. Written for convenient and frequent use, each chapter integrates recent developments while retaining the elements that made the first v ersion a classic. As a reference tool, the New Edition is indispensabl e. It comprehensively reviews recent developments in chemical property estimation methods and focuses on the properties most critical to env ironmental fate assessment.
