The aim of this book remains as for the first edition, namely to provide an initial point of readyreference for the identification of hazards and precautions for dangerous chemicals. It is targetednot only at those in the chemical and process industries, but also anyone likely to work withchemicals within industry and in the service sector, e.g. hospitals, universities, research laboratories,engineering, agriculture, etc. It embraces the entire life-cycle of chemicals during transport,storage, processing, marketing, use and eventual disposal and should appeal to chemists, occupationaland environmental health practitioners and students, engineers, waste handlers, safety officersand representatives, and health care professionals. Clearly, more detailed texts or professionaladvice may need to be consulted for specific applications.

It is hoped that the improvements will help to achieve the objectives for which the text wasoriginally conceived, i.e. to summarize in relatively basic terms the hazards associated withchemicals and how the ensuing risks can be controlled, and to provide sufficient detailed informationto supplement that obtainable from suppliers, government publications, trade associations, andcomputerized data banks where recourse to specialized textbooks may be premature, difficult orunnecessary.
