Global contamination trends of persistent organic chemicals

Compiled by an international group of experts, this volume covers the history, present status, and projected future trends of environmental contamination by highly toxic organic chemicals. The text informs readers on widespread distribution and effects of man-made chemical pollutants in a comprehensive manner not seen in existing textbooks and references. The book is relevant to professionals and students alike, providing timely coverage on the environmental issues due to 'classical¿ as well as emerging new chemical pollutants. Supplementary figures and equations are included for enhanced comprehension of the subject.
