See What's in the Third Edition:
Expanded section on Ethanol and its hazards to respondersUpdate of NFPA 472 Chemistry requirementsRevised section on "hazmat elements" with more hazards and response issuesIncludes a focus on the importance of the "hazmat elements" of chemical familiesNew incident examplesNew photographs and graphics
The chapters are organized by the nine U.S. Department of Transportation's hazard classes. Almost every hazardous material presents more than one hazard; the DOT's placarding and labeling system only identifies the most severe hazards. Therefore, the book provides additional information about hidden hazards for each hazard class. It discusses individual chemicals, their hazards and their physical and chemical characteristics, both as distinct chemicals and within chemical families.
The book offers a concise presentation of the topics of most importance to emergency responders on a day-to-day basis. It provides the basic chemistry a responder needs to understand chemical terminology and communicate with others about the chemicals involved in hazardous materials incidents.
