Here, the most important classes of toxic chemicals from personal care compounds are systematically covered, from cosmetics to plastics additives to pharmaceuticals. For each substance, data on toxicity and bioaccumulation in various ecosystems are given. This first comprehensive treatment of personal care environmental toxins is rounded off by a discussion of strategies in wastewater treatment to control and remove these substances.

The history of chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences is an impressive success story. The products of chemical and pharmaceutical industries are present eve- where in our everyday life. They help to pursue the modern way of living and they contribute to our high standard of living and safety, mobility, communication te- nologies, food, health, textiles and drinking water treatment, among many others. These products are labeled under the categories: pharmaceuticals, pesticides, det- gents, fertilizers, dyes, paints, preservatives, food additives and personal care pr- ucts, to name a few. Within these categories, groups of chemicals with similar structures can be found. However, often groups of...
Chiral Analysis covers an important area of analytical chemistry of relevance to a wide variety of scientific professionals. The target audience is scientific professionals with an undergraduate background in chemistry or a related discipline, specifically organic chemists, researchers in drug discovery, pharmaceutical researchers involved with process analysis or combinatorial libraries, and graduate students in chemistry. Chapters have been written with the nonspecialist in mind so as to be self-contained.* Broad coverage - spectroscopic and separation methods covered in a single volume* Up-to-date and detailed review of the various techniques available and/or under development in this field* Contributions from leading experts in the field
Chiral Organic Pollutants introduces readers to the growing challenges of chirality in synthetic chemicals. In this volume, contributors brilliantly summarize the characteristics of chiral pollutants to provide tools and techniques for effectively assessing their environmental and human health risks. Chapters cover recent research on the physicochemical properties, sources, exposure pathways, environmental fate, toxicity, and enantioselective analysis of chiral organic pollutants. Chiral Organic Pollutants also provides comprehensive discussions on the current trends in the synthesis and legislation of chiral chemicals. Key Features: Includes sampling and analytical methods for the enantiose...
A compilation of the most important aerosol chemical processes involved in known scientific and technological disciplines, Aerosol Chemical Processes in the Environment serves as a handbook for aerosol chemistry. Aerosol science is interdisciplinary, interfacing with many environmental, biological and technological research fields. Aerosols and aerosol research play an important role in both basic and applied scientific and technological fields. Interdisciplinary cooperation is useful and necessary. Aerosol Chemical Processes in the Environment uses several examples to show the impact of aerosol chemistry in several different fields, mainly in basic and atmospheric research. The book describes the most important chemical processes involved in the various scientific and technological disciplines.
Dieser Band enthält folgende SF-Romane: Die Feuerprobe im Weltraum (Mara Laue) Eine Kolonie füre Übermenschen (Alfred Bekker) Kampfzone Tau Ceti (Alfred Bekker) Im Jahr 2234 übernimmt Commander Willard J. Reilly das Kommando über die STERNENKRIEGER, ein Kampfschiff des Space Army Corps der Humanen Welten. Die Menschheit befindet sich im wenig später ausbrechenden ersten Krieg gegen die außerirdischen Qriid in einer Position hoffnungsloser Unterlegenheit. Dem ungehemmten Expansionsdrang des aggressiven Alien-Imperiums haben die Verteidiger der Menschheit wenig mehr entgegenzusetzen, als ihren Mut und ihre Entschlossenheit. Alfred Bekker ist ein bekannter Autor von Fantasy-Romanen, Krimis und Jugendbüchern. Neben seinen großen Bucherfolgen schrieb er zahlreiche Romane für Spannungsserien wie Ren Dhark, Jerry Cotton, Cotton reloaded, Kommissar X, John Sinclair und Jessica Bannister. Er veröffentlichte auch unter den Namen Neal Chadwick, Henry Rohmer, Conny Walden, Sidney Gardner, Jonas Herlin, Adrian Leschek, Jack Raymond, John Devlin, Brian Carisi, Robert Gruber und Janet Farell.
This book is a compendium of knowledge about nanomaterials and strategies for bioremediation over hazardous environmental pollutants. The book is divided into 2 sections. Section 1 deals with the polluted environment, where it explains that soil is in serious danger and highlights the primary hazardous pollutants. Besides, this section covers algae, autochthonous, introduced, or genetically modified organisms that are used to degrade hazardous contaminants. In Section 2, Bio- and Nanoremediation are shown through synthesis, green synthesis and molecular farming, and their applications or impacts. Moreover, this discusses bio- and nano-remediation, working together for better performance, organisms, and nanomaterials for environmental remediation.
Tonor stand hinter dem Eingang der Großen Arena an Bord der LASHGRA und bereitete sich auf seinen Kampf vor. Skattor trat zu ihm und reichte ihm einen flachen Waffenkasten. Tonor musste ihn nicht öffnen, um zu wissen, was sich darin befand. Nur Wurfsicheln wurden in diesen speziellen Kästen aufbewahrt. »Taur sitzt neben Koggru und trägt seine blaue Ehrenschärpe«, teilte Skattor ihm leise mit. »Du weißt, was du zu tun hast.« Tonor machte eine zustimmende Geste, öffnete den Waffenkasten und befestigte die Wurfsicheln an seinem Armpanzer. Eine davon würde beim folgenden Kampf bedauerlicher Weise ins Publikum fliegen und dabei versehentlich Taur töten. Danach konnte Skattor unangefochten dessen Platz einnehmen – und Tonor würde ebenfalls im Rang aufsteigen ...
