Offers a "safety profile" of 5000 of the most important hazardous chemicals. Features unique Chemical Safety Profiles that provide a quick overview of the hazards, synonyms, and physical properties of a variety of chemicals. Details government agency standards and recommendations on the handling of each chemical. Includes three cross-indices to permit rapid location of a material by its Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number, a synonym for the material, or the DOT Guide Number. Features new chemical entries unavailable in previous versions.

Entries extracted from Dangerous properties of industrial materials, 6th ed. Includes chemicals, pesticides, dyes, detergents, lubricants, plastics, drugs, food additives, preservatives, ores, soaps, extracts from plants and animals, and industrial wastes. Excludes trade name products available commercially. Entries give synonyms, chemical information, and toxic and hazard statement. Cross reference indexes for synonyms and CAS numbers.

Environmental Chemicals Desk Reference is a concise version of the widely read Agrochemicals Desk Reference and Groundwater Chemicals Desk Reference. This up-to-date volume was inspired by the need for a combination of the material in both references, together with the large number of research publications and the continued interest in the fate, transport, and remediation of hazardous substances. Much new data has been added to this unique edition, including global legislation (REACH) and sustainability, thereby reflecting the wealth of literature in the field. Featured are environmental and physical/chemical data on more than 200 compounds, including pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.

Using a clear and consistent format, this fourth edition contains more than 1,700 additional references and additional adsorption data for more than 800 organic compounds and metals, Henry's Law constants for 1,850 compounds, aqueous solubility data for over 2,500 compounds, toxicity data for 1,100 compounds, more than 31,000 synonyms, and 2,224 degradation products cross-referenced to parent compounds. Additional organic and inorganic solubilities, conversion factors, octanol-water partition coefficients, environmental fate data, analytical test methods, dielectric properties of various materials and liquids, and other tables and indexes have been added along with references for numerous physical parameters.

"In 'Environmental Health and Science Desk Reference' the authors define and explain the terms and concepts used by environmental professionals, environmental science professionals, safety practitioners and engineers, and nonscience professionals."--Cover.

Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory Single volume reference providing procedural information for the destruction of a wide variety of hazardous chemicals Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory is a practical reference that describes procedures for the destruction of a comprehensive list of hazardous chemicals and provides general methods for the destruction of hazardous chemicals in the laboratory without the need for exotic reagents and equipment. Unlike most other sources on this subject, detailed reaction parameters are provided to readers. These details will help the reader decide if a procedure will be appropriate. To further aid in reader comprehension, numerous tables throughout the book allow for ready comparison of procedures. Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory also describes the critical aspects of various protocols (e.g., UV lamp type and rate of ozone flow). The updated fourth edition Includes an updated survey of the literature from 2012-2021 and features data mined from 1,500 papers. It also describes recent examples of methods that are generally applicable to organic compounds and greatly expands the section on methods for the destruction of pharmaceuticals in the laboratory. In this book, readers can expect to find detailed information on: Specific methods for the destruction of hazardous chemicals in the laboratory, such as aflatoxins, butyllithium, complex metal hydrides, ethidium bromide, MPTP, nitrosamines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons Methods for the destruction of pharmaceuticals in the laboratory, such as those using ozone, persulfate, and potassium permanganate as well as photolytic degradation procedures Procedures for drying organic solvents A discussion of the issues concerning nitrosamine formation during the destruction process, particularly when sodium hypochlorite is used A variety of indexes, including a general index, cross index of pharmaceuticals and destruction procedures, cross index of dyes and destruction procedures, and cross index of names for dyes and biological stains Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory is of immense value to researchers in the laboratory by enabling them to quickly and efficiently get rid of residual amounts of hazardous chemicals when a series of experiments has ended. The procedures in the text can also be incorporated into laboratory protocols.

Discusses individual substances, mixtures of chemicals, or exposure circumstances associated with technological processes which are known to be human carcinogens or which may reasonably be anticipated to be human carcinogens. Also contains information relating to estimated exposures and exposure standards or guidelines. Chapters: delisted substances; profiles for agents, substances, mixtures or exposure circumstances known to be human carcinogens, or reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens; list of manufacturing processes, occupations, and exposure circumstances classified; and listing/delisting procedures.

Information from many disparate sources is brought together to create a unique desktop guide to the principles and practice of organic chemistry.

The Second Edition of the Agrochemicals Desk Reference is a revised, up-to-date volume. Much new data has been added to this edition, reflecting the wealth of literature in the field. Featured are environmental and physical/chemical data on more than 200 compounds, including pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Among the new additions and changes are: The Environmental Fate section which has been expanded and is now subdivided into the following categories: Biological, Soil, Plant, Surface Water, Groundwater, Photo- lytic, and Chemical/Physical. Also the introduction of experimentally determined bioconcentration factors and half-lives of chemicals in various media. All compounds are listed in alphabetical order, making it easy to find the data you need.
