Our world is widely contaminated with damaging chemicals, and
companies create thousands of new, potentially dangerous chemicals
each year. Due to the difficulty and expense of obtaining accurate
measurements and the unreliability of reported values, we know
surprisingly little about the properties of these contaminants.
Determining the properties of chemicals is critical to judging
their impact on environmental quality and in making decisions about
emission rates, clean-up, and other important public health issues.
Chemical Property Estimation describes modern methods of estimating
chemical properties, methods which cost much less than traditional
laboratory techniques and are sufficiently accurate for most
environmental applications. Estimation methods are used to screen
chemicals for testing, design monitoring and analysis methods,
design clean-up procedures, and verify experimental measurements.
The book discusses key methods for estimating chemical properties
and considers their relative strengths and weaknesses. Several
chapters are devoted to the partitioning of chemicals between air,
water, soil, and biota; and properties such as solubility, vapor
pressure, and chemical transport. Each chapter begins with a review
of relevant theory and background information explaining the
applications and limitations of each method. Sample calculations
and practical advice on how and when to use each method are
included as well. Each method is evaluated for accuracy and
reliability. Computer software, databases, and internet resources
are evaluated, as well as other supplementary material, such as
fundamental constants, units of measure, and more.
