But there  are few methods for predicting whether or not a chemical is  biodegradable, since this depends on the chemical's structure as well  as on the environmental conditions that it encounters. \u003cbr\u003e  The present book deals with quantitative structure-biodegradability  relationship models (QSBRs), emphasizing the biological and ecological  part of the biodegradation process. Surveys are given of the microbial  aspects of biodegradation and the methods available for testing  biodegradability. New trends and methods in biodegradation modelling  are reviewed, including contributions on computerized biodegradability  prediction systems. Some of the newly developed models for assessing  risk and ecological impact in aquatic and terrestrial environments  have been validated, and this process is discussed. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Scientists active in microbiology, the environmental  sciences, biotechnology and bioremediation. Policy makers will find  the book indispensable in assessing the present state of the art on  the biodegradability of substances.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401063982\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5686-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 143\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379776372876,"sku":"9789401063982","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401063982.jpg?v=1775730394","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401063982","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
