Chemical Property Estimation

A how-to book on determining the properties of chemicals, this book explores methods that cost much less than traditional laboratory techniques, underscoring the importance of understanding the impact of chemicals on environmental quality. Each chapter begins with a review of relevant theory and background information explaining the applications and limitations of each method. They include sample calculations and practical advice on how and when to use each method and evaluations of each method for accuracy and reliability. Computer software, databases, and internet resources are evaluated, as well as other supplementary material, such as fundamental constants, units of measure, and more.
