Author Description

This book provides safety information on approximately 120 solvents in common usage. It takes account of the CHIP regulations by using the required new datasheet format (which incorporates an ecotoxicity section) and including the new risk phrases for individual chemicals. The publication has been independently edited by an expert in the field and is indexed by chemical name and synonym. Every 'safety sheet' provides the following information, in two easy-to-scan facing pages: Name; CAS Registry Number; Synonyms; Composition; Hazard information; First aid measures; Accidental release measures; Handling and storage; Exposure controls and personal protection; Physical and chemical properties; Stability and reactivity; Toxicological information; Ecological information; Disposal considerations; Transport information; Regulatory information; Other information. Solvent Safety Sheets: A Compendium for the Working Chemist is an essential handbook for those in small to medium sized companies who work directly with the chemicals in question and who may not have direct access to a safety professional.
