Description
This is a two volume set aimed at examining persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic chemicals that undergo slow environmental degradation in air, water, and soil, bioaccumulate in fish and other organisms, and exhibit a high degree of toxicity. In this volume chapters are devoted to persistence, modeling, and emerging/new chemicals. They also cover a broad international perspectives on measured and calculated properties of PBT's and how these can be/are being used by
governments, national, international organizations and industry to select candidate chemicals for possible control. Specific PBT's are highlighted including PCB's, mercury, dioxin, chlorinated paraffins, alkylphenols, synthetic musk fragrances, polychlorinated napthalenes and polybrominated biphenyl
ethers.
