Agrochemicals Desk Reference

Agrochemicals Desk Reference is a comprehensive volume that features environmental and physical/chemical data on 200 compounds, including pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Data presented includes the soil/sediment partition coefficient (Koc) for predicting the compound transport rate in groundwater, the octanol/water partition coefficient (Kow) for determining the compound's hydrophobicity and estimating bioaccumulation potential in aquatic biota, and Henry's Law Constants for...
More Description

Agrochemicals Desk Reference is a comprehensive volume that features environmental and physical/chemical data on 200 compounds, including pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Data presented includes the soil/sediment partition coefficient (Koc) for predicting the compound transport rate in groundwater, the octanol/water partition coefficient (Kow) for determining the compound's hydrophobicity and estimating bioaccumulation potential in aquatic biota, and Henry's Law Constants for determining the relative volatility of a substance. The book also provides data on hydrolysis and photolysis half-lives, toxicity data, formulations, and uses. A thorough discussion of transformation products and degradative, biological, and abiotic processes in soil, plants, and groundwater is presented as well.
Agrochemicals Desk Reference is fully indexed by CAS Number, RTECS number, and synonyms. The book will be an essential reference for environmental scientists, hydrogeologists, groundwater modelers, soil scientists, regulators, environmental consultants, and industrial hygienists.
