| Hazardous Materials Handbook Richard P. Pohanish Stanley A. Greene With Pohanish and Greene’s Hazardous Materials Handbook, the search for critical data on commonly used industrial materials becomes easier, more reliable, and more productive than ever before. Safety, environmental, and emergency response professionals no longer have to rely on an assortment of unwieldy references offering differing formats and lacking quick-reference indexes. The authors have used the Chemical Hazards Response Information System (CHRIS) Manual, a multi-volume, loose-leaf publication from the U.S. Coast Guard, as the model and starting point. This well-regarded resource was updated, expanded, and reorganized, to create a convenient, next-generation handbook offering greater range, depth, and relevance of information required by those who must manage the aftermath of chemical spills and other incidents as well as the effects on businesses, employees, and the environment. The Hazardous Materials Handbook features:*Reports on more than 1,240 of the most commonly used hazardous materials, including nearly 100 materials never before included in similar references.*Extensive chemical synonym and trade name sections that include many foreign names, and RCRA and RTECS numbers. New CAS and synonym indexes provide quick access to the entries.*Identifications conveniently located at the beginning of each entry.*New and updated fields include: DOT ID numbers, DOT proper shipping names, DOT Guide numbers, STCC numbers; RCRA and/or CERCLA reportable quantities; initial isolation and protective action distances; labelling requirements; full-text NIOSH and OSHA respirator selection recommendations; ACGIH, NIOSH, and OSHA exposure limits; short term exposure limits; IDLH values; electrical hazard information; the latest NFPA hazard classifications; conversion factors for ppm to mg/m3; water and other materials reactivity information.…and much more.Compact, portable, and rich with practical know-how, Hazardous Materials Handbook is a must for any professional or company who must manage risks associated with dangerous industrial substances. With this remarkable timesaving resource, vital information gets to those who need it as quickly and accurately as possible.
