This volume is part of a series of BUA reports, each of which is a state-of-the-art compilation of environmentally relevant knowledge about an individual chemical or its various isomers. The presentation is clear and comprehensive. Each of the reports is structured according to: chemical and physical characteristics; analytical chemistry; emission into the environment during production, processing, applications and waste disposal; occurrence in the environment; behaviour in the environment; ecotoxicology; toxicity in warm-blooded animals; substance-specific legal regulations; summary and conclusions; recommendations; references. The reports give the reader a first-time compilation of information which was previously only to be found in numerous scattered sources.
