Description

Predicting the fate of toxic chemicals in the environment is an important scientific task. This book appraises tests to predict the environmental behaviour of chemicals, giving expert evaluation of testing protocol. Methods and evaluations included descriptions of important transfer and transformation processes in air, soil and water. The quantification of key processes and reactions is described and appraised for accuracy, precision and utility and the limitations of specific laboratory and field techniques are discussed. Promising new methods are presented with recommendations for further research.
