Building on the foundation set by its best-selling predecessors, the Groundwater Chemicals Desk Reference, Fourth Edition is both a broad, comprehensive desk reference and a guide for field research. This fourth edition contains more than 1,700 additional references, including adsorption data for more than 800 organic compounds and metals, s

Environmental Chemicals Desk Reference is a concise version of the widely read Agrochemicals Desk Reference and Groundwater Chemicals Desk Reference. This up-to-date volume was inspired by the need for a combination of the material in both references, together with the large number of research publications and the continued interest in the fate, transport, and remediation of hazardous substances. Much new data has been added to this unique edition, including global legislation (REACH) and sustainability, thereby reflecting the wealth of literature in the field. Featured are environmental and physical/chemical data on more than 200 compounds, including pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.

The latest edition of the bestselling Groundwater Chemicals Desk Reference contains double the amount of data found in the original edition. Hundreds of chemicals and chemical compounds are easily located in this latest edition. New material is included on environmental fates, particularly on transformation products, and several new tables have been added. Four new appendices are included, providing access to conversion factors, bulk density values of soils and rocks, porosity values of rocks and sediments, and solubility values of various organic compounds not profiled in the text.

This comprehensive quick-reference guide covers over 400 chemicals found in groundwater, the unsaturated zone, and the work environment. It serves as a practical reference that will be useful to all groundwater professionals, attorneys, regulators, health officials, engineers, and students. The field guide features information on these topics: Physical and chemical properties Fire hazard data Health data Manufacturing Exposure and symptoms Synonyms Chemical designations

The Second Edition of the Agrochemicals Desk Reference is a revised, up-to-date volume. Much new data has been added to this edition, reflecting the wealth of literature in the field. Featured are environmental and physical/chemical data on more than 200 compounds, including pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Among the new additions and changes are: The Environmental Fate section which has been expanded and is now subdivided into the following categories: Biological, Soil, Plant, Surface Water, Groundwater, Photo- lytic, and Chemical/Physical. Also the introduction of experimentally determined bioconcentration factors and half-lives of chemicals in various media. All compounds are listed in alphabetical order, making it easy to find the data you need.

A synthesis of years of interdisciplinary research and practice, the second edition of this bestseller continues to serve as a primary resource for information on the assessment, remediation, and control of contamination on and below the ground surface.

This guide book provides references and resources for the complex field of hazardous waste and hazardous materials management. The book is divided into general topics such as air quality, industrial wastewater, pollution prevention, and risk assessment under hazardous waste management and chemical hazards, emergency planning, and hazard communication under hazardous materials management. Each individual section includes a list of annotated bibliographies of the most recent books by major publishers as well as established, standard references. Following the annotated titles, are additional references of books and documents by publishers, technical associations, and governmental agencies (primarily the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). In general, only references from 1986 onward are included since the technology and regulations affecting hazardous waste and materials are constantly evolving.Additional resources included in the book are video tapes for training and instruction, information services and databases, libraries, agency contacts, technical journals, and a list of publishers and ordering information. This book will be a useful reference to professionals in the environmental field who need an extensive, but concise source of technical information and contacts.The book will be a valuable addition to individual libraries and will fill a current reference void in university libraries, and technical libraries in industry and government. At present there are very few technical bibliographies in the field, and none has covered topics related to hazardous materials and hazardous waste as extensively as this book.
