Description
This handbook includes the principal methodological tools and data required to comprehend, evaluate and execute analysis of chemical risk
in practical working situations.
A unique feature of the book, in addition to the extensive theoretical treatments of the subject,
is the multitude of dangerous property tables, a remarkably extensive compilation, providing data on more than 1900 products, organic
and inorganic. These tables are supplemented through the text by numerous figures and other tables, helping make this publication both
comprehensive and accessible.
An additional feature of this book is the description of numerous experiments conducted in the author's
laboratory, designed to test the various hazard test criteria in current use. Full assessments of the results are presented and these
compared with the results of other procedures in current use. This feature will provide valuable material for those engaged in research
on the subject, as well as the specialist practitioner who, as the author is able to show, cannot always take the results of conventional
wisdom and mandatory regulation for granted in ensuring safety.
This book is intended
* for safety specialists in industry who are
concerned with the manipulation of chemical products
* for process chemists and safety chemists who need to evaluate chemical hazards
in chemical plant
* for workers involved with the development of analytical procedures in industrial laboratories and in university
research departments.
* as an essential reference work, trainers and chemistry lecturers who wish to incorporate the subject of chemical
risk in their teaching.
