Editorial Reviews
Review
"The 86 articles are intended to comprise the most complete and comprehensive resource on chemical health and safety, replacing many earlier texts, and be the first place chemists, chemical hygiene officers, and safety specialists will look for answers to both simple and complex problems. Specialists in different topics, almost all from the US, cover safety management and policy, risk management, emergency management, laboratory equipment, chemical management, radiological and biological safety, laboratory design, and environmental management. Each entry contains its own bibliography of sources for further information."--SciTech Book News
