The authoritative guide to hazardous chemicals, completely revised and updated
The premier, hands-on reference for people dealing with hazardous chemicals, Hazardous Chemicals Desk Reference, Sixth Edition describes 5,800 of the most important and potentially hazardous chemicals, including many new entries. Like previous editions, it includes:
* Chemical Safety Profiles that provide a quick overview of the hazards, synonyms, and physical properties of the chemicals
* Government agency standards and recommendations for handling each chemical
* Three cross-indices so users can find a material by its Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number, a synonym for the material, or the DOT Guide Number
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.
"Zur Sicherheit" sollte in diesen Band schauen, wer professionell mit Chemikalien umgeht. In komplett überarbeiteter Neuauflage wartet das Nachschlagewerk mit Safety Profiles zu den 5.000 wichtigsten gefährlichen Chemikalien, ihren Eigenschaften und Besonderheiten auf.
