Overview
Although companies create thousands of new chemicals each year, the difficulty and expense of measuring their properties means that, often, very little is known about any potentially hazardous effects. Determining the properties of chemicals is critical to judging their impact on environmental quality and in making decisions about emission rates, clean-up, and other important public health issues. Chemical Property Estimation describes modem methods of estimating chemical properties, methods which cost much less than traditional laboratory techniques and are sufficiently accurate for most environmental applications. The book discusses key methods for estimating chemical properties and considers their relative strengths and weaknesses.
-- Discusses the types of methods available to estimate chemical properties, and explains their limitations and range of applications
-- Evaluates the relative accuracy and reliability of the methods
-- Covers the partitioning of chemicals between air, water, soil, and biota
-- Includes practical advice and sample calculations
