Disposal and management of waste are world-wide problems. Poor, outdated and illegal practices of urban and hazardous waste disposal affect local communities virtually in all countries; this includes illegal transboundary trade, mostly from industrialized countries. The presence of hazardous materials has become the norm at almost any job site. Traditionally associated with the industrial or manufacturing setting, almost all commercial facilities store or use hazardous substances to some degree. The current book explores basic principles of chemistry and toxicology so first responders can efficiently identify a chemical hazard, anticipate potential outcomes, and make safe and informed decisions.
