This review is from: Quick Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing, Fourth Edition (Spiral-bound)

This is a good, easy to use quick reference guide with many applications for multiple disciplines. This is useful for those 0430 in the morning calls when clear and concise information is what is needed. It does not replace a good personal protection equipment program or selection of purchase of equipment however it does put your data in a single place for quick reference.
