Structure—Activity Relationships in Environmental Sciences
Structure—Activity Relationships in Environmental Sciences by Monika Nendza is a comprehensive resource published by Springer US on April 16, 2013. This softcover reprint of the original 1st edition from 1998 spans 269 pages and is presented in English. The book consolidates information from various sources, offering an overview of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) and serving as a reference for experts in the field.
Readers will find that the book is divided into three parts, addressing the theoretical background of structure-activity studies, practical applications in environmental sciences, and a critical discussion of SAR models regarding their reliability in environmental hazard and risk assessment. It emphasizes the growing importance of QSARs due to the limited experimental data on environmentally relevant chemicals, making this work a valuable guide for postgraduate and research scientists, as well as professional ecologists.
Official synopsis Publisher
Structure-Activity Relationships in Environmental Science is the first book of its kind that brings together information from a variety of sources into one document. It provides a comprehensive overview of the entire field of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) as well as being a reference for SAR experts.
The book comprises three parts. Part One covers the theoretical background of structure-activity studies and Part Two deals with the practical applications of such methods in the environmental sciences. Part Three critically discusses SAR models with respect to their reliability and their aptness in environmental hazard and risk assessment. Recommendations are made as to which model to use and the case is presented for using QSARs in hazard assessment.
The use of QSARs is becoming increasingly important since there is little experimental data available on environmentally relevant chemicals. Structure-Activity Relationships in Environmental Sciences will thus serve as an invaluable guide to both postgraduate and research scientists as well as professional ecologists.
