Pradyot Patnaik

A Comprehensive Guide to the Hazardous Properties of Chemical Substances

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Das in der Praxis vielfach bewährte Nachschlagewerk spiegelt mit der Aufnahme von 1.000 neuen Chemikalien die Veränderungen wider, die sich seit der ersten Auflage 1992 ergeben haben. Einzigartiges Merkmal dieses Buches ist die durchgängige Verknüpfung von chemischer Struktur mit umwelt- und humantoxikologischen Eigenschaften, wodurch eine Verallgemeinerung und Extrapolation der Angaben erleichtert wird.
