PREDICTING CHEMICAL TOXICITY AND FATE

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSARs) are increasingly used to predict the toxicity and fate of chemicals both to man and in the environment. While these methods are used in a variety of areas (academic, industrial, regulatory), there is little coherent information available on their use. This book provides a comprehensive explanation of the state of the art prediction methods that are available. This unique, practical book illustrates the use of these techniques in real life scenarios. It will demystify QSARs for students and professionals in environmental toxicology and chemistry will provide a useful reference for their everyday working lives.
