Nonylphenol and Its Ethoxylates -- Draft
Author: Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Nonylphenol ethoxylates are a class of high-volume chemicals used as detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, and dispersing agents. These chemicals and their degradation products such as nonylphenol are not produced naturally, and enter the environment primarily through wastewater treatment plant effluents. This report summarizes the information critical to the assessment of these chemicals as toxic, including their identity, properties, production, and uses; entry into the environment; fate and concentrations; toxicokinetics; and effects on experimental animals and in vitro and on humans; and ecotoxicology. The report also includes an assessment under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act of these chemicals regarding their toxicity in the environment and their population exposure & human health effects.
Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World
Author: Eric LichtfousePublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 940072442X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Environmental chemistry is a fast developing science aimed at deciphering fundamental mechanisms ruling the behaviour of pollutants in ecosystems. Applying this knowledge to current environmental issues leads to the remediation of environmental media, and to new, low energy, low emission, sustainable processes. Nanotechnology applications for alternative energies such as solar power, fuel cells, hydrogen and lithium batteries are reviewed in the first section. Recent investigations on carbon nanotubes, nanocatalysts and cyclodextrins disclose unprecedented techniques to monitor and clean pollutants such as greenhouse gases, heavy metals, pesticides, pathogens occurring in water, air and soil. The second section reviews the risks for human health of critical pollutants such as endocrine disruptors, dioxins and heavy metals contaminating seafood and sediments. An exhaustive review of DDT isomers reveals unexpected mechanisms of DDT transfer to fishes. A chapter on pollutant geochronology using river sedimentary archives provides novel insights on pollution history since the beginning of the anthropocene. This book will be a valuable source of information for engineers and students developing novel applied techniques to monitor and clean pollutants in air, wastewater, soils and sediments.
Endocrine Disrupters in Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Processes
Author: J. W. BirkettPublisher: IWA Publishing
ISBN: 9781843390312
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) have been shown to produce changes in the endocrine system of organisms that lead to increases in cancers and abnormalities in reproductive structure and function. Recent research has highlighted the existence of hormonally active compounds in sewage and industrial effluents and their potential for recycling back into the environment - including drinking water supplies- through point sources and non-point sources. Endocrine Disrupters in Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Processes presents the latest research on EDCs, covering the sources, fate, and transport of EDCs in sewage and industrial effluents, and sludge treatment and disposal options in light of effects on receiving environments. In addition, the authors review current legislation, future research needs, and potential management strategies for endocrine disrupters in the environment.

Chemistry and Technology of Agrochemical Formulations
Author: A. KnowlesPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401149569
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Agrochemical products and adjuvants are of vital importance in agriculture, to protect food and fibre crops from weeds, insect pests and diseases, in order to feed and clothe the growing world population. In recent years there have been increasing pressures to produce agrochemical formulations which have a lower environmental impact and are safer in use. Enormous changes have taken place in the chemistry and technology of agrochemicals over the last twenty years or so and this book provides a timely review of the most important area of technology in the development of new products. This book covers issues around international product quality and safety standards and describes the current and likely future trends which will carry the industry forward into the next millennium. It brings together well known international experts with many years of practical experience from agrochemical companies, consultancies, academic institutions and regulatory bodies. Chemists and technologists involved in developing new or improved agrochemical formulations will find this book an essential reference in the course of their work. The book will also be of interest to those working in research and development departments of raw material suppliers, as a concise review of this important field.
