Predicting Chemical Toxicity and Fate

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSARs) are being used increasingly to predict the effects of chemicals in the environment. This increased use has come from a variety of areas (academic, industrial, regulatory), although there is little coherent information covering this broad area. Predicting Chemical Toxicity and Fate provides a comprehensive explanation of the state of the art in techniques used. The unique, practical book illustrates the use of these techniques in real life scenarios. QSARs will be demystified for those students unsure of them, and professionals in environmental toxicology and chemistry will find this a useful reference in their everyday working lives.
