The world's most comprehensive source of performance data onchemical protective clothing The Performance Index providesindustrial hygienists and workplace safety professionals with themost complete, up-to-date, reliable resource for making informeddecisions on chemical protective clothing (CPC). Painstakinglycompiled and evaluated by internationally recognized expertsKrister Forsberg and Lawrence Keith, this new and expanded editionpresents virtually all available data on the resistance of CPC to awide variety of chemicals. Coverage spans test records frommanufacturers worldwide, including CPC permeation and degradationdata obtained with ASTM methods as well as other regulatorystandards. Organized by chemical name and CAS Number, the newedition features:* Over 10,500 chemical permeation tests--more than double thenumber of the 1989 edition* An additional 3,000+ chemical degradation tests* Coverage of 860 chemicals and mixtures--200 more than in the lastedition* Information on more than 350 different types and models of CPC,including gloves, hazmat suits, boots, visors, and more* Roughly 50,000 data entries on such subjects as test material,thickness, permeation rates, breakthrough times, permeation indexnumbers, and references--twice as many as in the last editionAlso available from Wiley . Quick Selection Guide to ChemicalProtective Clothing Third Edition by Krister Forsberg and S. Z.Mansdorf 0-471-28797-0 Based on data from the Performance Index,this bestselling guide includes information on 600 chemicals and 16representative barrier materials used in gloves, suits, and otheritems of protective clothing. It offers the same recommendations asthe excellent and comprehensive Performance Index, yet in aconcise, readily accessible format.

This book is a compilation of experimentally determined solubility ranges of over 1,700 compounds in the National Toxicology Program's Chemical Repository. Each compound's solubility was determined in a consistent manner in one to six solvents. Solvents chosen were those most commonly used for toxicology studies, spill cleanups, and chemical synthesis or chemical reaction experiments. These solvents include acetone, 95% ethanol, water, dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol, and toluene. Data for many of the research and industrial chemicals featured in this volume do not exist anywhere else. If you are a toxicologist, safety professional, industrial hygienist, or chemist, this book is a valuable reference tool you'll find yourself using every day.

The Handbook of Air Toxics compiles, defines, and clarifies several methods and concepts of airborne toxic substances found in the environment. This comprehensive reference helps regulators, consultants, and other environmental professionals meet the challenges of sampling and analysis, emissions reductions, and health and safety issues related to human exposure. It is an important reference addressing the ongoing concern about the consequences of air pollution, and the implementation and modification of the Environmental Protection Agency''s (EPA) Clean Air Act.Some of the methods described in the Handbook of Air Toxics include fluorescence, thermal desorption, selected ion monitoring, ion chromatography, light microscopy, specific electrode analysis, titration, colorimetry, atomic absorption, and spectrophotometry. It also covers the use of isokinetic sampling trains, midget impingers, carbon molecular sieves, and sampling canisters in the analysis of air toxics. The Handbook also contains recommendations from the EPA for analytical methods for those air toxics where methods do not already exist and provides advance information on future method development by the EPA.

This database, available in print and electronic form, provides information on chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of known and suspected environmental endocrine disruptors in a convenient easy-to-use format. Much of the research on EEDs has focused on the effects of these chemicals on wildlife, linking certain compounds to birth defects and abnormal development of immune and reproductive systems.
