It is hoped that this book will prove valuable to safety advisers, environmental health officers,emergency services personnel, safety representatives and those engaged in the transport or disposal of wastes-in fact, to anyone involved with chemicals ' in the field', i.e. away from ready access to chemical safety data sheets, detailed texts, library facilities or computerized databanks. It also provides a useful summary for those who may need to make only passing reference to thehazardous properties and potential effects of chemicals, such as general engineering students and occupational health nurses.
