Includes: Hard-to-find data on over 11,000 chemical compounds 2,000 more chemical listings than the First Edition Alphabetical organization providing concise incompatibility profiles for thousands of commonly used commercial chemcials CAS Numbers to eliminate confusion among similar synonym names. A glossary of general chemical terms This expanded Second Edition, set out in a convenient, easy-to-use format, is an essential guide for all safety, first-response, and plant management professionals working with chemical materials.

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

"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 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..

The definitive guide to the hazardous properties of chemical compounds Correlating chemical structure with toxicity to humans and the environment, and the chemical structure of compounds to their hazardous properties, A Comprehensive Guide to the Hazardous Properties of Chemical Substances, Third Edition allows users to assess the toxicity of a substance even when no experimental data exists. Thus, it bridges the gap between hazardous materials and chemistry. Extensively updated and expanded, this reference: Examines organics, metals and inorganics, industrial solvents, common gases, particulates, explosives, and radioactive substances, covering everything from toxicity and carcinogenicity to flammability and explosive reactivity to handling and disposal practices Arranges hazardous chemical substances according to their chemical structures and functional groups for easy reference Includes updated information on the toxic, flammable, and explosive properties of chemical substances Covers additional metals in the chapters on toxic and reactive metals Updates the threshold exposure limits in the workplace air for a number of substances Features the latest information on industrial solvents and toxic and flammable gases Includes numerous tables, formulas, and a glossary for quick reference Because it provides information that enables those with a chemistry background to perform assessments without prior data, this comprehensive reference appeals to chemists, chemical engineers, toxicologists, and forensic scientists, as well as industrial hygienists, occupational physicians, Hazmat professionals, and others in related fields.

Researchers in chemistry, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical science, forensics, and environmental science make routine use of chemical analysis, but the information these researchers need is often scattered in different sources and difficult to access. The CRC Handbook of Basic Tables for Chemical Analysis: Data-Driven Methods and Interpretation, Fourth Edition is a one-stop reference that presents updated data in a handy format specifically designed for use when reaching a decision point in designing an analysis or interpreting results. This new edition offers expanded coverage of calibration and uncertainty, and continues to include the critical information scientists rely on to perform accurate analysis. Enhancements to the Fourth Edition: Compiles a huge array of useful and important data into a single, convenient source Explanatory text provides context for data and guidelines on applications Coalesces information from several different fields Provides information on the most useful "wet" chemistry methods as well as instrumental techniques, with an expanded discussion of laboratory safety Contains information of historical importance necessary to interpret the literature and understand current methodology. Unmatched in its coverage of the range of information scientists need in the lab, this resource will be referred to again and again by practitioners who need quick, easy access to the data that forms the basis for experimentation and analysis.
