Author Description

This comprehensive handbook treats all aspects of hazardous materials spills, from the regulations surrounding a spill to the actual organization of a clean-up. Fifty world wide-contributors, each an expert in their own right, make this theoretical and practical handbook completely authoritative. Going beyond short term responses, dealing first with the national and international laws covering hazardous materials and spills, the impact of spills, and the assessment of the risks posed by the spillage, key discussions are included in preventing spills in plant operations and transporation.
