Biodegradability of Surfactants / edited by D.R. Karsa, M.R. Porter.

The widespread use of surfactants and their release into the environment has resulted in an upsurge of interest in the biodegradability of these compounds. This volume, written by a team of industrial and academic authors, provides an overview of the science and technology of the subject.
