Overview
This book presents approximately 300 common microbicides used for the protection of materials and processes against biodeterioration. Part One reviews Microbicides with regard to the relationship between chemical structure and mode of action and activity, research and development in consideration of registration procedures, legislative aspects, and 18 uses of microbicides in the major application areas which are described in detail. Part Two, Microbicide Data, is an eagerly anticipated inventory of the 1993 Handbook of Microbicides for the Protection of Materials. In aggregate, this publication provides one of the most authoritative sources for information in this field.
