Pentachlorophenol. Chemistry, pharmacology and environmental toxicology
BOOK REVIEWS
167
These two further volumes, reporting the annual conferences on industrial waste held at Purdue University in 1976 and 1977, contain much that will be of considerable interest to all those concerned with industrial wastes. The two volumes contain more than 200 original contributions.
Individual On-Site Wastewater Systems. Proceedings of the First and Second National Conferences, 1974 and 1977. Ann Arbor Science, John Wiley, Chichester. 1977 and 1978. Pp. 166(lst), 238(2nd). Price: £12.60(lst), £14-20 (2nd). These two volumes include the proceedings of conferences sponsored by the National Sanitation Foundation. That for the 1974 conference did not appear until late 1977, but the proceedings of the fourth conference, held in 1977, were published soon after. The twenty or more papers in each volume are aimed at regulatory officials, manufacturers, planners and operators.
Pentachiorophenol. Chemistry, Pharmacology and Environmental Toxicology. Edited by K. Ranga Rao. Environmental Science Research Vol. 12, Plenum Press, New York. 1978. Pp. 402. Price: US$45-00. Pentachlorophenol (CPP) is widely used in North America but is virtually banned in Sweden and Japan. In Great Britain its use as a wood preservative is approved. This book gives a comprehensive account of the chemistry, toxicology and environmental effects of the chemical and its commercial formulations. K.M.
