Chemistry of Hazardous Materials

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book.

A guide to hazardous materials, for both the chemistry novice and the emergency responder.
Chemistry of Hazardous Materials covers principles of basic chemistry and the chemical properties that make materials hazardous. Assuming no prior knowledge of basic chemistry, the text is equally useful as a teaching tool for the non-science major and an on-the-job resource for the emergency responder. With a simplified, streamlined layout, the 7th edition includes an introduction to the latest technologies, additional challenging exercises, and a discussion of current events to offer context for ways of interpreting, handling, and storing hazardous chemical substances.
