Halogenated biphenyls, terphenyls, naphthalenes, dibenzodioxins, and related products /
The chemical industry is increasingly faced with problems arizing from chemicals produced during the manufacture of halogenated biphenyls or phenols. Knowledge of these chemicals and their destructive properties is sporadic, and the acute toxicity of this group varies widely. This informative revise...
