Reviews"Such methods are necessary because data cannot be obtained on many of the 100,000 potentially threatening synthetic chemicals. As a single source of this kind of information, the book is excellent... An excellent resource for graduate students, faculty, researchers, and professionals." -CHOICE

SynopsisSlightly more than 100,000 chemicals are produced in such an amount that they are threatening to the environment. These include common chemicals such as household cleaners, detergents, cosmetics, medicines, and pesticides. The Handbook of Estimation Methods in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Chemistry presents estimation methods for determining a number of physicochemical, biological, and toxicological parameters for these chemicals. Included is WinTox software, an estimation tool that is quick and easy to use; it provides a good initial estimate that can be further refined. Through the estimation methods demonstrated in this book, the following urgent questions can be answered:, This book provides estimation methods for determining a number of physicochemical, biological, and toxicological parameters for these chemicals. Detailed directions for using the enclosed WinTox software to calculate estimations and how to improve the accuracy of those estimations are given. The Handbook helps readers find the most accurate combination of estimation methods to meet the demands for a defined accuracy in various situations.
