SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Fatty alcohols are mainly used in the production of detergents and surfactants. This book provides new information regarding products containing fatty alcohol derivatives, the fate of these down-the-drain products in wastewater systems and the use of compound specific stable isotope methods.
