Review: This large volume includes important significant and commercially available chemicals: all bulk inorganic chemicals; all major pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, antifungal agents, etc.) and many dyestuffs, surfactants, metals and alloys. There are 34 925 entries, including the 5000 highest-volume chemicals in the US, as defined by application of the Toxic Substances Control Act. Entries contain detailed information on definitions, classification, chemical composition, functions, applications and suppliers. This latest edition includes physical properties data (e.g. melting and boiling point, density or specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation, ultraviolet absorption, solubility and acute toxicity) for pure chemicals
