Wilson & Wilson's comprehensive analytical chemistry. Vol. 67, Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) : analytical techniques, environmental fate and biological effects

This book focuses on those organic chemicals that are regulated by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). as well as organic chemical with the attributes of being persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to ecosystem and human beings, criteria used by the Stockholm Convention for screening POP candidates. Because of the unfavourable properties of POPs, numerous research efforts have been directed toward investigating their input sources, fate, and effects, with the help of continuously improving analytical technologies. The contributors to this book provide an integrated assessment of existing data, which will benefit both the scientific and management communities in planning further research projects and/or pollution control measures. -Comprehensive overview of recent advances in analyzing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) -Covers input sources, fate and biological effects of POPs -Contains essential information for environmental management. --Provided by publisher Content: Advisory Board Page ii Front Matter Page iii Copyright Page iv Contributors to Volume 67 Pages xv-xvii Series Editor’s Preface Page xix D.
