Providing material for practitioners and students alike, Chemical
Exposure and Toxic Responses is a clear and straightforward
presentation of industrial toxicology. Exposure to toxic chemicals
is of major concern to health professionals. In recent years, the
scope and importance of hazardous materials toxicology has expanded
and now impacts financial institutions, government, private
corporations, and many other organizations as well. Chemical
Exposure and Toxic Responses presents the myriad health
implications of hazardous chemicals in a single source. This book
is organized so that readers can proceed from a general perspective
on the problem of chemical exposure and toxic responses to an
understanding of toxicology and a method of inquiry. Written for
anyone who needs practical toxicological information, the book
compactly and efficiently presents the scientific basis of
toxicology as it applies to the workplace. It covers the diverse
chemical hazards encountered in the work environment and provides a
practical understanding of these hazards for those charged with
protecting the health and well being of people at work. Chemical
Exposure and Toxic Responses consists of three parts: Part I
establishes the general principles of industrial toxicology; Part
II addresses specific effects of toxic agents on specific
physiological organs and systems; and Part III is devoted to the
evaluation of hazards in the workplace.

Nothing is more important to an organization than the health and safety of its workers. The managerial effectiveness of any health and safety program is judged on the basis of how well it prevents injuries and ill health. Chemical Safety in the Laboratory provides a proven approach to implementing and maintaining an effective chemical safety program for laboratories in hospital, industrial, and educational settings. Based on 20 years of experience managing and auditing chemical safety programs, the author discusses the OSHA Laboratory Standard and the Chemical Hygiene Plan, provides guidelines for the effective use of personal protective equipment, and details chemical emergency planning and response procedures. He also outlines a 19-step decontamination procedure for emergency responders. Employee chemical exposure monitoring and victim handling procedures are among the other major topics covered in this essential guide.
