Now in its updated second edition, this book describes emerging chiral environmental pollutants and their importance in environmental and human toxicology, as well as enantiomer selective separation and analytical methods. Compared to the first edition from 2001, the book has been completely restructured and a wealth of new material has been added to account for new developments. The book reports on the modern enantiomer selective separation methods, including enantio-selective chromatography techniques, which have even been successfully tested in space during the ESA Rossetta mission. The authors clearly outline why the topic of chiral environmental pollutants has become even more important: many new chiral compounds have been released in recent years (e.g. as new pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals), and traces of these compounds can now be found in the environment. The authors explain that (and how) chirality can be a very important feature for the bioactivityof anthropogenic pollutants. In this book, readers find an introduction to the topic, including all important aspects, from the introduction of new enantiomer selective analytical methods, and of emerging chiral environmental pollutants, to aspects on environmental and human toxicology and exposure, risk assessment, and aspects on climate change as well as other new aspects on chirality in the environment. The book is thus a must-read for everybody working in the field of chiral environmental pollutants, but it is also beneficial for teaching purposes in specialized post-graduate courses in advanced analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical analytics, or environmental chemistry.

In seiner aktualisierten zweiten Auflage beschreibt dieses Buch die Bedeutung von neuen chiralen Umweltschadstoffen für die Umwelt, Mensch und Tier. Vor allem enantiomer selektiver Trenn- und Analyseverfahren für zahlreiche chirale Umweltschadstoffe werden kritisch beschrieben. Im Vergleich zur ersten Auflage von 2001 wurde die Neuauflage vollständig umstrukturiert, und eine Fülle neuer Materialien hinzugefügt, um der fachlichen Weiterentwicklungen der letzten 20 Jahre Rechnung zu tragen. Das Buch berichtet über moderne enantiomer selektive Trennverfahren, einschließlich enantiomer selektiver Chromatographietechniken, die sogar erfolgreich im Weltraum während der ESA-Rosetta-Mission getestet wurden.Die Autoren stellen dar, warum das Thema chirale Umweltschadstoffe in den letzten Jahrzehnten noch wichtiger geworden ist. In den letzten Jahren wurden viele neue chirale bioaktive Verbindungen für Anwendungen in Medizin, Landwirtschaft und Technische Verbraucherprodukte entwickelt. Umweltanalysen zeigen, dass Spuren dieser Verbindungen inzwischen auch in der Umwelt zu finden sind. Die Autoren erläutern ausführlich, dass das Prinzip Chiralität heutzutage ein sehr wichtiger Faktor für die Bewertung der Bioaktivität anthropogener Schadstoffe sein kann.In diesem Buch finden Leser eine detaillierte Einführung in das Thema. Diese Einführung beinhaltet auch alle wichtigen Aspekte, ausgehend von der Einführung neuer enantiomer selektiver analytischer Methoden neu entdeckter chiraler Umweltschadstoffe bis hin zu Aspekten der Umwelt- und Humantoxikologie. Unter anderem werden sowohl Methoden zur enantiomer selektiver Risikobewertung ausgewählte chirale Stoffe aber auch bedeutende Aspekte des Klimawandels näher beleuchtet.Das Buch ist daher ein Muss für alle, die im Bereich chiraler Umweltschadstoffe arbeiten. Außerdem kann es ist auch für Lehrzwecke in spezialisierten Bachelor- und Mastergradskursen sowie für fortgeschrittene analytische Chemie, pharmazeutische Analytik oder Umweltchemie von Nutzen sein.

Since the late 1960s, various groups have investigated the influence of marine surface films on mechanisms dominating energy and mass transfer across the ocean/atmosphere interface. However, a compendium summarizing the state-of-the-art research in this field is still missing. The book fills this gap and transfers the accumulated knowledge to the scientific community. After a brief historical chapter basic chemical insights are presented, followed by theoretical and experimental approaches carried out in laboratory facilities. Air-sea interaction experiments are then described and finally, remote sensing applications with sea slicks and crude oil spills are presented.
