After seven years, a revision of the "Handbook of Chemical Property Estimation Methods" (commonly known as "Lyman's Handbook") is finally complete. The 1999 publication of that revision, entitled Handbook of Property Estimation Methods for Environmental and Health Sciences, is one of the most eagerly anticipated developments in scientific publishing. This is a completely new book, but it includes both a foreword and a chapter by Dr. Lyman. TOC:Melting Point Estimation for Organic Compounds.- Boiling Point.- Vapor Pressure.- Henry's Law Constants.- Octanol/Water Partition Coefficients.- Vegetation-Air Partition Coefficient.- Solubility in Water.- Estimation of Soil/Sediment Sorption Coefficients.- Bioconcentration and Biomagnification in the Aquatic Environment.- Sorption to Aerosols.- Rate of Biodegradation.- Hydrolysis.- Atmospheric Oxidation.- Photoreactions in Surface Waters.- Oxidation-Reduction Reactions in the Aquatic Environment.- Estimating Absorption of Chemical Substances from the Skin, Gastrointestinal Tract and Lungs.- Surface Active Chemicals.- Synthetic Organic Dyes: Estimating Their Properties and Environmental Fate.
