This book is a comprehensive, in-depth coverage of dangerous organic compounds along with the control measures designed to reduce their destructive impact on the ecosystem.

This new edition is fully updated to reflect the latest research in the field, including new organic chemicals, mixtures, and preparations.

With its alphabetical format volume one covers A-F along with the second volume covering G-Z and all indexes.

There is also a CD-ROM version available Handbook of Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals CD-ROM which contains all the information needed to prudently use potentially dangerous chemicals.
