It provides the fundamentals of "street chemistry" that emergency response personnel need to know, with a focus on hazmat elements. This edition includes new review questions with answers and new incident examples. It also introduces the new United Nations GHS system for classification and labeling of chemicals, updates the NFPA requirements, and provides information on ethanol and other alternative automotive fuels"-- Ch.1 Introduction -- ch.2 Basics of chemistry -- ch. 3 Explosives -- ch. 4 Compressed gases -- ch.5 Flammable liquids -- ch. 6 Flammable solids -- ch. 7 Oxidizers -- ch. 8 Poisons -- ch. 9 Radioactive materials -- ch. 10 Corrosives -- ch. 11 Miscellaneous hazardous materials -- ch. 12 Incompatible and unstable chemicals. |
