Outstanding single-source coverage of chemical health and safety for the electronic and computer industry The chemicals used in the electronic and computer field are among the most lethal and carcinogenic of any industry. With the rapid growth of this sector worldwide, a ready source of vital information on these substances and their effects on both humans and the environment is essential. This book brings together detailed health, safety, and environmental data on over 350 chemicals commonly used in electronic and computer manufacturing, including: * Synonyms (foreign and English), trade names, and international identification numbers (CAS, DOT, EEC, EINECS, RTECS) * Physical properties, chemical incompatibilities, and tolerance levels * Emergency, first aid, and safety procedures * Environmental legislation and compliance * A directory of critical resources This book is an indispensable, time-saving reference for environmental managers, safety officers, industry regulators . . . anyone with a stake in workplace health and safety issues of the electronic and computer sector..

"This book should be a required reference on the laboratory'ssafety shelf as no where else is so much useful informationavailable in a single volume." ?Inside Laboratory Management, on the Second Edition "...a portable reference on reactive substances to guide allpersonnel...in charge of the handling, storage, and transportationof chemical materials." ?Journal of the American Chemical Society, on the SecondEdition The authoritative resource on dangerous chemical interactionsnow enlarged, revised, and even more useful. The term "incompatibilities" describes a wide range of chemicalreactions that produce undesirable results in noncontrolledsituations: the generation of toxic gases, fire, explosions,corrosive activity, polymerization, ruptured containers, creationof more dangerous compounds, and the like. A portable andeasy-to-use reference on reactive substances commonly found incommerce, the Wiley Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities, ThirdEdition compiles hard-to-find data on over 11,000 chemicalcompounds, providing chemists, technicians, and engineers athorough, lightning-quick resource to use during experimentalpreparation and in the event of an emergency. More than a revision of the previous edition, this ThirdEdition has been rewritten and expanded to broaden coverage andimprove its usefulness. It contains nearly 9,000 chemicalincompatibility profiles and nearly 250 new entries, coveringflammability, violent and explosive binary reactions,incompatibilities, and reactions that may result from physicalchange. Alphabetical organization provides concise incompatibilityprofiles for thousands of commonly used commercial chemicals,allowing readers to look up a given substance and instantly learnwhether it is incompatible with common materials, other chemicalsubstances, structural materials, or personal protectiveequipment. New for the Third Edition: Chemicals that have the potential to cause disasters Chemical formulas and autoignition temperatures More flash points, as well as molecular formulas, lower andupper explosive limits, autoignition temperatures, andNFPA®-type (Red) numerical fire codes Safety reminders All entries keyed by CAS numbers to eliminate possibleconfusion among synonyms Spanish-, French-, and German-language entries forinternational use Revised glossary helps users who may not be chemists withgeneral chemical terms With thousands of new entries and easy-to-use organization, theThird Edition of the Wiley Guide to ChemicalIncompatibilities remains a handy resource for all safety,first-response, and plant management professionals responsible forthe handling, storage, and conveyance of chemical materials.

This emission scenario document (ESD) for chemicals used in the electronics industry provides information on the sources and release pathways of chemicals during various processing techniques in this varied industry sector, to help estimate releases of chemicals into the environment.

This unique text's format makes it easy to diagnose and treat occupational toxicology patients, whether they know the substance of their exposure or not. Organized by occupation, industry, and environment, it covers what agents are plausible for exposure, systemic effects, and suggested treatments. Covers everything needed to understand, diagnose, treat and refer patients of toxic exposure.Provides a chemical agent cross-referencing system.Contains photographs from the Bettmann archives of historical photographs.Addition of new Associate Editor: Gayla McCluskey, CIH - President of the American Industrial Hygiene Association. Revises and updates all chapters with the latest information.Features 25 new chapters.Includes new contributors and new illustrations.

The authors' aim with this handbook, is to provide a rapid ready-reference to help in the often complex task of handling, using and disposing of chemicals safely and with minimum risk to people's health or damage to facilities or to the environment. The book provides look-up data, and concise, clear explanations of general chemical principles, physiochemical and reactive properties, toxicities and exposure limits, flammability characteristics, monitoring techniques, personal protection and other parameters and requirements relating to compliance with designated safe practice, control of risks to people's health and limitation of environmental impact. Over 600 pages of valuable reference materialIncludes information on physiochemical and reactive properties, toxicities and exposure limits, flammability characteristics, monitoring techniques, personal protection and other parameters and requirements relating to complianceSummarizes core information for quick reference in the workplace or in transit

This guide gives all those who handle, store or transport industrial chemicals the information they need to respond instantly to potential perilous situations. Bringing together data on over 150 substances, it alerts readers to chemical combinations believ
