Klappentext

Recognized as the most useful published source of information for selection and use of chemical protective clothing This revised and updated eighth edition expands previous selection recommendations to the total number of 9,000 recommendations. The recommendations are based on the singular most comprehensive collection of chemical permeation and resistance data for chemical protective clothing The Quick Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing provides the most efficient tool for selecting appropriate protection against chemical exposure. Its three-step process enables users to quickly identify the barrier material offering the best chemical resistance for a specific chemical. Color-coded tables summarize the chemical breakthrough performance of barrier materials against more than 1,000 chemicals. Selecting the most appropriate protective clothing is one of the most effective and efficient actions to prevent illness and injury from hazardous chemical exposure. It is critical to understand that the skin serves as a major entry route for chemicals into the body, causing risks such as cancer, genetic damage, skin irritation, burns, or sensitization. Readers will also find:

• Information necessary for professionals wishing to perform accurate risk assessments of skin exposure hazards
• Color-coded tables summarizing the chemical breakthrough performance of 27 barrier materials against more than 1000 chemicals
• Easy access to conclusive and accurate advice for people exposed to chemicals
• Proven and verified recommendations that are independent from manufacturer-produced guidance
• Selection recommendation for barriers against Chemical Warfare Agents This book is still the most trusted resource for spill responders, police officers and police specialists, hazmat and cleanup team members, safety engineers, industrial hygienists, chemical handlers, supervisors and others. This guide will also benefit chemical engineers and chemists who may be exposed to chemical hazards at work.
