Table of contents:
Industrial toxicology; industrial hygiene; personal protective equipment; design and operating considerations for process equipment; design considerations for piping and instrumentation; storage of toxic materials; transfer of highly toxic materials; containment and disposal of effluent streams from emergency pressure relief devices; mitigation of spilled volatile hazardous liquids; equipment maintenance; mechanical integrity.
This handbook provides practical, technological information on the toxicological aspects of dangerously hazardous chemicals, the design and maintenance of facilities for processing them, as well as preventive and mitigative procedures for controlling their accidental release. Key areas of industrial toxicology, including major routes of occupational exposure, and general toxic properties of selected chemicals, are discussed.
