Synopsis

A handy reference which offers immediate access to information on more than 6000 compounds commonly used in industry, manufacturing, labs, and the workplace. An abridged version of "Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials", it presents updated essential safety profiles for each chemical, assessing its potential as a poison, irritant, corrosive, explosive or carcinogen. In addition, the edition provides: 1-to-3 hazard ratings, which quickly and concisely identify the hazard or toxicity level of a chemical; synonyms, such as other chemical names, common or generic names, foreign names, and codes and use as part of trademarks; CAS, NIOSH, and DOT numbers, and other identifiers; and consensus reports from the World Health Organization and other major bodies, which give additional insight into potential chemical hazards.

Judiciously edited to include the chemicals used today and organized to provide a quick reference for individuals seeking a concise summary of a chemical′s hazards, this is the core reference for industrial hygienists, environmental safety professionals, fire safety professionals, toxicologists, safety officers, plant managers, emergency planners, students, and others who need to know the properties of hazardous chemicals.
