✦ Synopsis

corned that the "IARC classification" has been followed in the tables of this book. Yet it could have been hoped, not least in view of the high reputation of the IARC monographs and their great significance as a source of information, that the authors of the PAC spectral atlas should quote accurately. Thus, we read in Vol. 32 of the IARC monographs "The available data provide no evidence that anthracene is carcinogenic to experimental animals", while the authors of the PAC spectral atlas remark of anthracene "IARC ranking: inadequate data".

Summary: A good spectral atlas, whose acquisition can be recommended, and which will be of use especially to laboratories that are beginning to institute PAC analysis. As far as occurrence and biological activity of PACs are concerned, the book can facilitate literature searching, but in no way replace it.
