This new edition of Chemistry of Hazardous Materials remains an important basic chemistry text for Emergency Responders with expanded coverage on many essential hazardous materials topics, such as: the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemical Substances (GHS), terrorist threats relative to biological, chemical, and radioactive agents, updated best practices for the handling and storage of hazardous materials, new end-of-chapter exercises, updated D.O.T. regulations, information on warning labels and material safety sheets for use by Emergency Responders, and new lists of hazardous materials. This new edition continues the successful presentation of earlier editions by emphasizing the hazardous materials regulations established by the OSHA, the U.S. D.O.T., and the EPA.

A guide to hazardous materials, for both the chemistry novice and the emergency responder. Chemistry of Hazardous Materials covers principles of basic chemistry and the chemical properties that make materials hazardous. Assuming no prior knowledge of basic chemistry, the text is equally useful as a teaching tool for the non-science major and an on-the-job resource for the emergency responder. With a simplified, streamlined layout, the 7th edition includes an introduction to the latest technologies, additional challenging exercises, and a discussion of current events to offer context for ways of interpreting, handling, and storing hazardous chemical substances. For courses in hazardous materials. Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience that can be adopted on its own as the main course material. It lets students highlight and take notes all in one place, even when offline. Educators can easily customize the table of contents, schedule readings, and share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their eText and what they learn in class — motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning. And, reading analytics offer insight into how students use the eText, helping educators tailor their instruction. NOTE: This ISBN is for the Pearson eText access card.
