Karel Verschueren

This CD-ROM contains all the information one needs to use potentially dangerous chemicals prudently, as detailed in the fully revised print edition of our classic handbook. Arranged in alphabetical order by chemical name, this reference provides synonyms, CAS numbers, and molecular and structural formulas. It covers natural and man-made sources of a substance, as well as its uses and various formulations. Each substance is categorized by physical and chemical properties, air pollution factors, water and soil pollution factors, and biological effects. Pesticides, detergents, phtalates, polynuclear aromatics, and polychlorinated biphenyls are all investigated in detail. It also features information on aquatic toxicity and biological effects; odor thresholds; sampling and analysis data; and structural formulas of over 3,000 chemicals. Tables have been refined to focus on environmentally related materials.

What's included: Robust, user-friendly Folio search and retrieval software Ability to search by chemical name, synonym, CAS number, and physical properties On-screen help and pull-down menus Windows(r) and Macintosh(r) platforms Menu-driven ease for rapid access to data --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
