Synopsis

A complete restructuring and updating of the classic 1982 Handbook of Chemical Property Estimation Methods (commonly known as "Lyman's Handbook"), the Handbook of Property Estimation Methods for Chemicals Environmental and Health Sciences reviews and recommends practical methods for estimating environmentally important properties of organic chemicals. One of the most eagerly anticipated developments in scientific publishing, the new Handbook includes both a foreword and a chapter by Dr. Lyman. Written for convenient and frequent use, each chapter integrates recent developments while retaining the elements ; that made the first version a classic. As a reference tool, the new Handbook is indispensable. It comprehensively reviews recent developments in chemical property estimation methods and focuses on the properties most critical to environmental fate assessment. Features • Addresses fundamental molecular properties such as melting point, boiling point, and vapor pressure • Treats the partitioning properties of Henry's law constant, octanol-water partition coefficient, solubility in water, sorption, bioconcentration in fish, and partitioning to vegetation and aerosols • Includes estimation methods for degradation process rates and half-lives for biodegradation, hydrolysis, atmospheric oxidation, photolysis in water, and redox reactions • Covers the additional topics of absorption through membranes and the properties of surface active chemicals and dyes • Reviews the fundamental determinants of the properties most critical to fate and risk assessment and presents recent improvements in chemical property estimation methods
