Editorial Reviews * CD-ROM subscription product with annual updates * Site License Program - please contact Dennis McClellan at 1-800-272-7737 * CD-ROM stand-alone product Responding to the marketplace of researchers, professionals, academics, and students, CRCnetBASE will provide - in electronic format - critical, timely information.Presenting full references and methods of measurement, citing multiple values, and recommending the "best" value Environmental Fate and Degradation Handbook CRCnetBASE 1999 brings together physical-chemical data for similarly structured groups of chemical substances, which influence their fate in the multimedia environment of air, water, soils, sediments, and resident biota. This continually updated CD-ROM synthesizes the comprehensive five-volume set of the Illustrated Handbook of Physical-Chemical Properties and Environmental Fate for Organic Chemicals, covering these topics: * monoaromatic hydrocarbons, chlorobenzenes, and PCBs * polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated dioxins, and dibenzofurans * volatile organic chemicals * oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur-containing compounds * pesticides The task of assessing chemical fate locally, regionally, and globally is complicated by the large (and increasing) number of chemicals of potential concern, by uncertainties in their physical-chemical properties, and by lack of knowledge of prevailing environmental conditions. Reported values of properties are often in conflict. Some are measured accurately, some approximately, and some estimated by various correlation schemes from molecular structure. In some cases, units or chemical identity are wrongly reported. The user of such data thus has the difficulty of selecting the "best" or "right" values. Assisting the environmental scientist and engineer, Environmental Fate and Degradation Handbook CRCnetBASE 1999 contains compilations of physical-chemical property data for series of chemicals. This resource provides: * guidance abut the properties of one substance from those of its homologs * plots of systematic property variations to check the reported data * an opportunity for interpolation and even extrapolation to estimate unreported properties of other homologs This unique feature of chemical-to-chemical comparison can be valuable for identifying errors and estimating properties. The data are taken a stage further by estimating the likely environmental partitioning tendencies, i.e., how the chemical may become distributed between the various media comprising the biosphere. Environmental Fate and Degradation Handbook CRCnetBASE 1999 presents results numerically and pictorially to provide a visual impression of likely environmental behavior - assisting those persons who assess environmental fate by confirming the general fate characteristics or behavior profile. Environmental Fate and Degradation Handbook CRCnetBASE 1999 contributes to a better assessment of chemical fate in the multimedia environment - serving as a reference for environmentally relevant physical-chemical property data of classes of chemicals and illustrating the likely behavior of these chemicals as they migrate through the biosphere. * CAS Number * Structure * Molecular Mass * Molar Volume * Melting and Boiling Points * Water Solubility * Octanol-Water Partition Coefficient * Vapor Pressure * Organic Carbon-Water Partition Coefficient * Bioconcentration Factor * Henry's Law Constant * Dissociation Constant * Estimated Half-Lives in Air, Water, Soil, and Sediments
