A very valuable book for those working in the field of dangerous or suspected dangerous chemicals.

Environmental Engineering

For both consumers and industry users, this handbook provides a basic compendium of critical reviews and evaluations abstracted from various major, publicly available sources (largely the database of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission) that give information on potential chronic health hazards posed by chemicals used either as virgin products or as additives in consumer products. The information compiled provides preliminary toxicity data on some 1,000 chemicals. The summaries provided for each chemical are excerpted from reference documents and reflect only the conclusions. The chemicals reviewed can be identified and accessed via two indexes--alphabetical by chemical name, and chronological according to Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers. Annotation c.
