The third edition of a bestseller, Hazardous Materials Chemistry
for Emergency Responders continues to provide the fundamentals of
"street chemistry" required by emergency response personnel.
Emergency response and hazmat expert Robert Burke takes the basics
of chemistry appropriate for response personnel and puts it into
understandable terms. The author has retained the style and format
that made the previous editions so popular while updating the
information to keep the book relevant. See What's in the Third
Edition: Expanded section on Ethanol and its hazards to responders
Update of NFPA 472 Chemistry requirements Revised section on
"hazmat elements" with more hazards and response issues Includes a
focus on the importance of the "hazmat elements" of chemical
families New incident examples New photographs and graphics The
chapters are organized by the nine U.S. Department of
Transportation's hazard classes. Almost every hazardous material
presents more than one hazard; the DOT's placarding and labeling
system only identifies the most severe hazards. Therefore, the book
provides additional information about hidden hazards for each
hazard class. It discusses individual chemicals, their hazards and
their physical and chemical characteristics, both as distinct
chemicals and within chemical families. The book offers a concise
presentation of the topics of most importance to emergency
responders on a day-to-day basis. It provides the basic chemistry a
responder needs to understand chemical terminology and communicate
with others about the chemicals involved in hazardous materials
incidents.
