The dictionary contains approx. 6,000 terms related to containers and dangerous goods, medical terms in relation to accidents involving dangerous goods, chemicals most frequently involved in accidents, segregation terms and groups, reglementation of dangerous goods, conventions, codes and directives, organisations and acronyms. This dictionary will concentrate mainly on the technical vocabulary relating to containeri-sation and the transport of hazardous and noxious substances as it would appear that, that particular sector is rather poorly documented.

This ordered grouping of definitions will enlighten the reader about the priorities of the international community regarding environmental law. Definitions are classified in alphabetical order, in separate English and French lists. In each language there is an alphabetical list of common terms with the equivalent second language term in square brackets. The list gives the exact detailed meaning followed by the source of each term. Following this list, a lexicon of the same terms is given under such general themes as "Mammals", "Gas", "Lead". Finally, a list of relevant documents which can be referenced for further information is included.
