A Comprehensive Guide to the Hazardous Properties of Chemical Substances

Whereas most HAZMAT references merely catalog the various properties and effects of specific chemical compounds, this comprehensive guide correlates chemical structure with toxicity to humans and the environment. The second edition adds 1,000 chemicals, examining in detail the primary characteristics of over 1,500 chemicals within 46 different chemical groups-covering toxicity, carcinogenicity, flammability, explosive reactivity, and safe handling and disposal practices.
