This invaluable handbook presents important information on over 500 organic compounds that are used as solvents. Health hazards and safety guidelines are discussed, including the limiting values for airborne exposure, carcinogenicity status, and various official hazard ratings. This handy reference contains many useful data fields, such as:

* A breakthrough paper on laser-cooling of atoms below the Doppler limit, which led to the award of the 1997 Nobel Prize for Physics to William D. Phillips* The official report on the development of the radio proximity fuse, one of the most important new weapons of World War II* The 1932 paper reporting the discovery of deuterium in experiments that led to Harold Urey's1934 Nobel Prize for Chemistry* ...Observation of Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Dilute Atomic Vapor,... a 1995 paper that has already opened vast new areas of research* A review of the development of the SEAC, the first digital computer to employ stored programs and the first to process images in digital form
