Opis

Interest in the occurrence and behaviour of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is increasing due to their adverse effects on the environment and human health. It is essential that information is made available on the various aspects of research on VOCs to enable better understanding and control of the various environmental and human health threats. The information in this book will be used to improve communication and understanding of the various approaches. In particular the potential and limitations of the described analytical methods will be essential in defining environmental studies and interpreting the results.

Recenzje

This book is a contribution to improving communication between those in the search for solutions to the problems created by the presence of VOCs...Research, policy makers and officers concerned with public health and environmental quality issues will find this well presented and extensively referenced publication of great value - Esrisat; ...very up-to-date...I can warmly recommend this book both as a reference work for the library, but also for the individual bookshelf of those with a serious interest in the subject. - Analytica Chimica Acta
