- Abstract
- Since its inception in the early 1950's, Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials has become the primary source for those who need to evaluate the hazardous potential of substances used in commerce. Sax's is the only reference that combines - for so many substances - data on toxicology, flammability, reactivity, explosive potential, and regularity information. Now in its eleventh edition, Sax's contains extensive data on approximately 26,000 substances, including 2,600 new entries. Numerous entries have been revised to reflect the latest information. What's more, this extraordinary guide has been thoroughly updated to contain Immediately Dangerous Life or Health (IDLH) levels for approximately 1,000 chemicals. It also covers exposure-level classifications for a number of regulatory agencies, from OSHA to the U.S. Department of Transportation. In short this latest edition of Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials is an essential resource for every professional engaged in industrial hygiene, safety, emergency response, law, and policy making.
