(Edward Arnold, 1993)
This book provides the first expert and comprehensive account of the implications that global warming and sea-level rise will have on the ecosystems and socio- economic structure in the marine and coastal regions of the ...
Fenvalerate - Environmental Health Criteria 95
(1990)
Fenvalerate is a potent insecticide that has been in use since 1976. It is an ester of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyric acid and alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol, but lacks a cyclopropane ring. However, in terms ...
Permethrin - Environmental Health Criteria 94
(1990)
Permethrin was first synthesized in 1973 and marketed in 1977 as a photostable pyrethroid. Approximately 600 tonnes per year of permethrin is at present used world-wide, mostly for agricultural purposes. It has a potential ...
d-Phenothrin - Environmental Health Criteria 96
(1990)
d-Phenothrin has been in use since 1977. It is estimated that 70-80 tonnes of d-phenothrin are used annually worldwide, mainly to control noxious insects in the household and insects of public health concern and to protect ...
Tetramethrin - Environmental Health Criteria 98
(1990)
Tetramethrin was first synthesized in 1964 and first marketed in 1965. Chemically, it is an ester of chrysan-themic acid (2,2-imethyl-3-(2,2-dimethylvinyl)-cyclopro-panecarboxylic acid) with 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophth ...

Vinylidene Chloride - Environmental Health Criteria 100
(1990)
Vinylidene chloride (C2H2Cl2) is a volatile, colourless liquid with a "sweet" odour. It is stabilized with p- methoxyphenol to prevent the formation of explosive peroxides. Vinylidene chloride is used for the production ...
Cyhalothrin - Environmental Health Criteria 99
(1990)
Cyhalothrin is formed by esterifying 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl)-2,2- dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid with alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol, and it consists of a mixture of four stereoisomers. ...
