This title was first published in 2000: Pesticides and other agricultural chemicals are in use in virtually every country in the world. It is therefore useful and important to those involved with these chemicals to have a collection of data concerning the substances most commonly used for agricultural purposes. This Handbook includes data on over 1,800 substances, including a number of mixtures, which are important in agriculture. Almost all records describing pure chemicals carry the appropriate CAS Registry Number and the associated EINECS Number. All chemicals in this edition which also appear in the twelfth edition of the Merck Index have the Merck Index Number provided. Wherever possible, the following information is also provided for each entry: definitions, classifications, chemical composition, functions, applications, suppliers, melting point, boiling point, density or specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation, ultraviolet absorption, solubility, and acute toxicity.

This handbook provides those involved with agricultural chemicals with a collection of consistent data on substances most commonly used throughout the world for agricultural purposes. Organized by functional category, the 1800 main entries are divided into the following groups: acaricides, agricultural chemicals, animal feeds, fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, molluscicides, nematicides, plant growth regulators, rodenticides and slimicides. Almost all records describing pure chemicals carry the appropriate CAS Registry Number and the associated EINECS Number. All chemicals in this edition which also appear in the 12th edition of the Merck Index have the Merck Index Number provided. Wherever possible, the following information is also provided for each entry: chemical composition, physical properties, functions, applications, acute toxicity and suppliers. A key feature of the reference is the extensive coverage of synonyms. The book includes an index of 5000 chemical synonyms and tradenames, with a cross-reference to their main entry.

This reference handbook provides fully updated chemical, regulatory, health, and safety information on nearly 800 pesticides and other agricultural chemicals. The clear, consistent and comprehensive presentation of information makes Sittig's an essential reference for a wide audience including first responders, environmental and industrial health/safety professionals, the food industry, the agricultural sector and toxicologists. Detailed profiles are provided for each substance listed, including: usage; crop-specific residue limits; hazard ratings for long-term human toxicity; and endocrine disruptor and reproductive toxicity information. Every chemical profile contains references and web links to source information from the EPA, OSHA, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other important advisory and lawmaking bodies. This work is focused on regulated chemicals. The substances covered include pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides and related agricultural chemicals used on foods grown and produced for both human and animal consumption. These products are organized with common names, chemical synonyms, trade names, chemical formulae, US EPA pesticide codes, EU regulations including Hazard Symbol and Risk Phrases, EINECS, RTECS, CAS, and other unique identifiers so that all who may have contact with, or interest in them can find needed information quickly. A comprehensive reference for the agricultural sector, food industry, agrochemical manufacturing and distribution sector, and first responders Brings together a wealth of hazard and response, regulatory and toxicological information in one convenient go-to handbook Covers US, EU and worldwide regulatory requirements

The 2000 Ashgate Handbook of Pesticides and Agricultural Chemicals is here extensively revised. It focuses on the primary chemical substances that make up pesticide formulations used today mainly in agricultural and public health environments, as well as those no longer in use. Commonly applied bactericides and some recently developed pesticides have been added, and their current status with US Environmental Protection Agency identified. The 1,844 unique chemical entities are presented in 17 functional categories such as acaricides, animal repellants, fungicides, herbicides, mulluscicides, plant growth regulators, safeners, and miscellaneous chemicals. A directory of manufacturers and suppliers is appended. CAS Registry and EINECS numbers, and names and synonyms are indexed. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Sittig's Handbook of Pesticides and Agricultural Chemicals is specifically designed for use by those engaged in the agricultural and food processing industries, both vital to our nation's health and economy. People in every phase of food production, from the farm to the fork, will find a wealth of material here. It will also be of interest to professionals in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and personal care industries who use agricultural products as ingredients. It provides crop, chemical, regulatory, health and safety information on nearly 800 pesticides, fertilizers, and other agricultural chemicals. These chemicals are organized withg unique identifiers so that all who may have contact with or interest in them can find critical information quickly.
