Main description:

The first book to assess exposures of people and wildlife to airborne chemicals
Includes a very good selection of case study applications with relevant data summarized for pesticides and contaminants in air
Discusses issues related to approaches to modelling pesticides and contaminants occurrence and behaviour in air
Includes assessment of physicochemical properties of pesticides and contaminants that influence sampling and atmospheric mobility and fate
Well organized and helpful for people interested in regulatory, health, and other topics related to pesticides and contaminants in air
