The Databook of Biocides, Second Edition is an essential resource for professionals working with biocidal products in the European Union and United States. This comprehensive volume presents a curated selection of both generic and commercial biocides that are currently approved for use, making it a practical reference for researchers, manufacturers, and regulatory personnel. Drawing from a wide array of sources, the book allows for easy comparison of data on physical properties, health and safety information, and environmental impact. It provides valuable guidance on best practices and application methods, supporting informed decision-making in biocide use. The book organizes biocides into four main categories: disinfectants (including washing liquids and powders), preservatives for microbial and algal prevention, pest control solutions, and other specialized biocidal products such as antifouling agents and embalming fluids. It details important attributes like volatility, solubility, concentration, and safety factors including flash point, autoignition temperature, and toxicological risks. Additionally, the text pays particular attention to ecological considerations, including biodegradability and aquatic toxicity.
