While beneficial to society, these pesticides can pose human health and environmental risks. Pesticides provides a comprehensive and international collection of data concerning the substances used to repel or mitigate pests ranging from insects, animals and weeds to microorganisms.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A valuable feature of this reference is its organization by functional category. The 1,844 chemical entities are divided into the following 17 functional categories: Acaricides, Algicides, Animal Repellants, Bactericides, Bird Repellants, Fungicides, Herbicides, Insecticides, Molluscicides, Nematicides, Piscicides, Plant Growth Regulators, Rodenticides, Safeners, Slimicides, Termiticides and Miscellaneous Chemicals.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This compilation provides important chemical and toxicity data for the 1800 substances registered by the US Environmental Protection Agency and used largely in the agricultural environment. The chemical, physical and bioactivity properties of each agent are recorded along with a comprehensive listing of product trade names and synonyms as well as manufacturers. The EPA status of each agent is given and each record carries the appropriate CAS Registry Number and the associated EINECS Number where available. The Merck Index number is provided for all chemicals in this edition which also appear in the 13th edition of the Merck Index. Wherever possible, the following information is also displayed for each entry: melting point, boiling point, density or specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation, ultraviolet absorption, and solubility as well as chronic and acute toxicities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A key strength of this new reference is the extensive coverage of synonyms. The book includes an index of 28,000 chemical synonyms and trade names with a cross-reference to their main entry. This extraordinarily comprehensive view of trade name and generic synonyms makes Pesticides one of the world's most exhaustive references for agricultural chemical synonyms.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface.  \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to Use This Book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary of Terms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations and Symbols.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART I: MAIN ENTRIES.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcaricides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlgicides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnimal Repellents.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBactericides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBird Repellents.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFungicides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHerbicides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInsecticides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMolluscicides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNematicides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePiscicides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlant Growth Regulators.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRodenticides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSafeners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSlimicides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTermiticides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMiscellaneous Chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART II: APPENDIX.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eManufacturer and Supplier Directory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART III: INDEXES.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCAS Registry Number Index.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEINECS Number Index.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eName and Synonym Index.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Chemistry [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Chemistry\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Chemistry%20%5BPN%5D%22\"\u003ePN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Interscience","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298043719960,"sku":"9780471723349","price":213.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471723349.jpg?v=1781732224","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/pesticides-an-international-guide-to-1800-pest-control-chemicals-hardback-9780471723349","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
