	Z730122	Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 7th ed.	Bretherick’s Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards is widely regarded as the reference work in this field — an assembly of all reported risks such as explosion, fire, toxic or high-energy events that result from chemical reactions gone astray, with extensive referencing to the primary literature. It is designed to improve safety in laboratories that perform chemical synthesis and general research, as well as chemical manufacturing plants. Entries are ordered by empirical formula and indexed under both name(s) and Chemical Abstracts Registry Numbers. This two-volume compendium focuses on reactivity risks of chemicals, alone and in combination; toxicity hazards are only included for unexpected reactions giving volatile poisons.
	Z424285	CRC Handbook of Laboratory Safety, 5th edition	Provides information on planning and building a facility, developing an organization infrastructure, planning for emergencies and contingencies, choosing the correct equipment, developing operational plans, and meeting regulatory requirements. Still the essential reference tool, the New Edition helps you organize your safety efforts to adhere to the latest regulations and use the newest technology.The ideal reference to OSHA safety standards and government regulations.
	C8610	Casarett and Doull’s Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons, 6th ed.	Long-established as the gold standard in the field, this sixth edition equips one with an unsurpassed treatment of modern toxicology, including the principles, concepts, mechanisms, and modes of thought that are the foundation of the discipline. This classic book includes a full discussion of toxicokinetics; how each body system responds to poisons; and the specific effects of a wide range of toxic agents pesticides to radiation. It covers recent advances in molecular biology, pharmacogenetics, clinical toxicology, and behavioral/clinical research.
	Z703249	Complete Guide to Laboratory Safety	The book and CD-ROM set is the first and only resource of its kind to help you comply with ISO 15190. Whether you're new to lab safety or a seasoned veteran, you can rely on this simple, easy-to-understand tool to help you implement critical lab safety measures. Created for lab managers, directors, and compliance officers, this book will serve as a desk reference for your staff on safe practices for a myriad of lab operations.

	Z251674	Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory, 2nd Ed.	An updated collection of detailed procedures used to degrade and dispose of a broad range of hazardous chemicals whether in bulk quantities, solutions in various solvents or spills. This edition features new chapters on the removal of metal ions and biological stains from solution; the degradation of mycotoxins, enzyme inhibitors, polycyclic heterocyclic hydrocarbons and highly reactive reagents such as butyllithium, peracids and phosgene as well as the use of much less hazardous reagents including molecular sieves. A list of hazardous compounds indexed by name, molecular formula and CAS Registry Number offers ready access to the data.
	Z514454	Guidelines for Laboratory Design: Health and Safety Considerations, 3rd ed.	The construction of new laboratory buildings or the renovation of existing ones requires close communication between laboratory users, project engineers, architects, construction engineers, and health and safety personnel. All too often, health and safety considerations are overlooked or slighted and are not sufficiently incorporated into designs. Guidelines for Laboratory Design: Health and Safety Considerations, Third Edition provides reliable design information related to specific health and safety issues that need to be considered when building or renovating laboratories. With an increase in the number of laboratory renovations due to lower costs and faster end results compared to constructing new buildings, the latest edition of Guidelines for Laboratory Design, which includes new chapters on laboratory renovation, is particularly timely. This well-established and respected volume also includes a vital section on design guidelines for commonly used laboratories and features separate chapters on a wide array of laboratory types. In addition, the updated material contains: A new section on design for environmental preservation through the operation and maintenance of health and safety The latest information on laboratory ventilation and safety systems Incorporation of "green" laboratory design techniques Discussions on the architectural, engineering, regulatory, and health and safety aspects unique to the renovation process
	Z540838	Handbook of Chemical Health and Safety	This handbook provides the tools necessary to create and maintain a safe work environment. It provides a starting point for any chemical safety study, from providing information on proper chemical and equipment handling to guidance on purchasing, storage, use and disposal. This is the single most useful how-to guide available on issues related to chemical safety and will be an absolute necessity in any lab, chemist, chemical hygiene officer, or safety specialist’s workplace.
	Z525375	Handbook of Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals, 2 vol. set, 4th ed.	For over two decades, the Handbook of Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals has provided comprehensive, in-depth coverage of dangerous organic compounds along with the control measures designed to reduce their destructive impact on the ecosystem. This new edition is fully updated to reflect the latest research in the field, including new organic chemicals, mixtures, and preparations.
	Z513296	Hazardous Chemicals Desk Reference, 5th ed.	The fifth edition contains safety profiles, synonyms, physical properties, standards, and recommendations of government agencies for approximately 5,000 chemicals deemed both important and potentially hazardous by the international scientific community. Substances were chosen on the basis of meeting a variety of criteria, such as: Having an OSHA standard; Having an ACGIH TLV; Listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer Groups; Listed on the NTP Ninth Report on Carcinogens; Having a German Research Society's Mak or Bat listing; Having especially dangerous toxic, reactive, or fire properties. The data for each entry is taken from the master file of DPIM. The fifth edition distinguishes itself from its predecessors by including the very latest information from a variety of international databases and organizations, while deleting entries that have proven to be the least pertinent to practitioners.
	Z538078	Principles of Toxicology: Environmental and Industrial Applications, 2nd ed.
