Persistent Organic Chemicals in the Environment by Jong Khim

Persistent Organic Chemicals in the Environment by Jong Khim

Environmental pollution by man-made Persistent Organic Chemicals (POCs) has been a serious global issue for over half a century. The Pacific Rim countries play a pivotal role in governing global POC contamination and resulting harmful health effects. Topics covered in Volume 2 include lessons learned from three decades monitoring contaminants in the Pacific Basin.
