Applied Chemistry and Physics

<p>Written by a hazardous materials consultant with over 40 years of experience in emergency services the five-volume <i>Hazmatology: The Science of Hazardous Materials</i> suggests a new approach dealing with the most common aspects of hazardous materials containers and the affected environment. It focuses on innovations in decontamination monitoring instruments and personal protective equipment in a scientific way utilizing common sense and takes a risk-benefit approach to hazardous material response. This set provides the reader with a hazardous materials Tool Box and a guide for learning which tools to use under what circumstances.</p><p>Dealing with hazardous materials incidents cannot be accomplished effectively and safely without knowing the effects these materials have. Volume Three <b><i>Applied Chemistry and Physics</i></b> is not about teaching chemistry and physics. It is about presenting these topics at the level that emergency responders will understand so they can apply the concepts using a risk management system. </p><p>FEATURES</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Uses a scientific approach utilizing analysis of previous incidents </li> <p> </p> <li>Offers a risk-benefit approach based upon science and history </li> <p> </p> <li>Provides understanding tools for your Hazmat Tool Box </li> <p> </p> <li>Simplifies physical and chemical characteristics </li> <p> </p> <li>Utilizes chemistry and physics to identify hazards to responders </li> </ul>
