The second edition of
Hazardous Materials Chemistry explores basic principles of chemistry and
toxicology so that first responders can efficiently identify a chemical
hazard, anticipate potential outcomes, and make safe and informed decisions.
Step-by-step coverage of
the names of chemical families and their general categorical hazards and
incompatibilities enable readers to not only grasp the science behind the
chemicals and reactions but also apply principles to actual incidents.
An all-new chapter on
infrared spectroscopy brings the book up to date with the latest detection
technology used in fire departments today. |
