Item description from seller

Green Trends in Insect Control (RSC Green Chemistry Series, Volume 11) edited by Oscar López [Óscar López] and Jose G. Fernández-Bolaños [José G. Fernández-Bolaños]. This hardcover edition is in Near Fine/VG+ condition with faint surface wear to the covers; otherwise, the covers are in excellent shape, maintaining their original high gloss. The binding is square and tight, with minor abrasion on the front flyleaf. The interior pages are clean, bright, and unmarked.This book examines contemporary approaches to insect pest control, focusing on "green" alternatives to traditional and more toxic agrochemicals. Covering recent advances in insecticide chemistry, it will interest a broad range of professionals, including agrochemists, biochemists, and toxicologists. The volume's unique combination of chemical and toxicological perspectives includes contributions from synthetic chemists, entomologists, and environmentalists, emphasizing methods that utilize "greener chemicals." Divided into nine chapters, each section explores the current state of different insecticide families, including environmentally-friendly processes, modes of action, and selective targeting. The environmental impacts of each family (such as toxicity, bioaccumulation, and metabolism) are discussed with a comparison to traditional insecticides, highlighting human and environmental risk assessments. Additional chapters address traditional insecticides and the negative environmental effects of historical insecticide use, including poisoning and bioaccumulation. Topics covered in this book include pyrethrins and pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, spinosyns, insect growth regulators, botanical insecticides, microbial insecticides, and integrated pest management (IPM) programs.The advances detailed in this book are particularly relevant for professionals seeking greener approaches to insect control, and it provides a valuable resource for academia and research.The book will be carefully packaged for shipment to ensure protection from the elements. A USPS electronic tracking number will be issued free of charge. Feel free to contact us for more information or pictures regarding the book.

Store description

Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.
