Environmental Issues Assessment of Chemical Exposures: Calculation Methods for Environmental Professionals by Jack DaughertyLewis Publishers This book details how to assess the chemical hazards to humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. It starts with a good history of legislation on the subject. The nomenclature, terminology, and other basics are covered early on in the text. This text includes cancer risk equations, and other extensive mathematical equations for determining receptor exposure. Pathway transport assessment models, and OSHA and EPA guidelines are covered in detail by this award-winning safety engineer. Henry's Law constants, vapor pressures, and partition coefficients are tabulated for numerous contaminants. Quantity Member Nonmember 1997/ Catalog #T850/ 439 pages.
