Handbook of Property Estimation Methods for Chemicals

The revision the Handbook of Chemical Property Estimation Methods ("Lyman's Handbook"), now titled the Handbook of Property Estimation Methods for Chemicals: Environmental and Health Sciences, was one of the most eagerly anticipated developments in scientific publishing. It includes both a foreword and a chapter by Dr. Lyman. As a reference tool, the new rendition is indispensable. Written for convenient and frequent use, it integrates recent developments while retaining the elements that made the first version a classic. It also includes recent developments in chemical property estimation methods and focuses on the properties most critical to environmental fate assessment.
