The Databook of Biocides, Second Edition contains critical data on the most important biocides in use today. The selection includes generic and commercial biocides that have been approved for use in the European Union and United States. Data on generic biocides comes from numerous sources, and can be easily compared with manufacturing information on commercial biocides, which are also included. The book divides all biocides into four main groups, those being disinfectants such as washing liquids, powders and similar products, preservatives for use in microbial and algal prevention, pest control, and other biocidal products, including antifouling products, embalming and taxidermist fluids, and more. Physical properties for each are presented, including volatility, solubility, and concentration, as are health and safety considerations, such as flash point, autoignition temperature, risks of skin and eye irritation, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity, as well as first-aid guidance. Ecological properties are also emphasized, with data on biodegradation and aquatic toxicity. Particular emphasis is placed on usage considerations, including recommended material-biocide combinations, processing methods and dosages, and features and benefits for each biocide. The book also contains an introductory chapter in which general indicators of performance of biocides are discussed.
