    Editorial Reviews

    "The value of this publication lies in the massive amount of information that has been carefully assembled over the years and brought together in a single reference…Over a quarter of the 2,600 references are new. In addition, several new fields of information have been added - many of them unique to any other references of chemical information. Of particular interest to future concerns with the newly developing issues involving environmental endocrine disruptors are the data on bioconcentration factors, degradation rates, Merck reference citations, sources of contamination, and ancillary information in the Environmental Fate sections…a valuable resource and a great time saver when I need to find information…the single most convenient reference to select for comprehensive data on chemical contaminants in groundwater…"-Dr. Lawrence H. Keith, VP & Sr. Corporate Fellow, Waste Policy Institute, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA
