The plastics and other polymers used for consumer goods and technical applications often contain many additives that can pose potential hazards to human health and the environment. Unique in its comprehensive presentation of chromatograms, mass spectral information, and analytical data as well as environmental and applications perspectives, the Handbook for the Chemical Analysis of Plastic and Polymer Additives provides a detailed reference for the analysis of the additives that are most widely used in plastics and polymers. It examines potential environmental effects of these additives. In addition to analytical data, it includes regulations issued by the FDA, USEPA, EU agencies, and other groups.
