This book, authored by a group of experts in various fields related to solvent use, delves into the fundamental principles governing their application, their impact on health and the environment, residual solvents in products, concentration levels in industrial settings, existing regulations, safer alternatives, non-emitting technologies, contamination cleanup, personal protection, and the latest trends in future technology. The authors, hailing from prestigious universities and industries worldwide, collectively bring forth their extensive knowledge, having previously authored 47 books and numerous papers on the subject. In this compilation, they provide a synthesis of their experiences and opinions on how to transform the global use of solvents to harness technological benefits while simultaneously mitigating risks and health effects.
Written between the summer of 1999 and the spring of 2000, all 25 chapters of this book incorporate over 5000 references to source literature, facilitating easy access to specific information on any solvent-related topic. The text is enriched with figures and tables, comparable in number to multi-volume encyclopedias.
Furthermore, the book offers a synthesis of a substantial amount of data and information to uncover fundamental principles that have been revealed through this data. The actual data on 1141 solvents are presented in the form of a searchable database on CD-ROM, making it the most extensive database on solvents, comprising 110 categories of data (fields) and almost 40,000 individual data entries.
