Emergency response and hazmat expert Robert Burke takes the basics of chemistry appropriate for response personnel and puts it into understandable terms. The author has retained the style and format that made the previous editions so popular while updating the information to keep the book relevant. See What’s in the Third Edition: Expanded section on Ethanol and its hazards to responders Update of NFPA 472 Chemistry requirements Revised section on "hazmat elements" with more hazards and response issues Includes a focus on the importance of the "hazmat elements" of chemical families New incident examples New photographs and graphics The chapters are organized by the nine U.S. Department of Transportation's hazard classes. Almost every hazardous material presents more than one hazard; the DOT’s placarding and labeling system only identifies the most severe hazards. Therefore, the book provides additional information about hidden hazards for each hazard class. It discusses individual chemicals, their hazards and their physical and chemical characteristics, both as distinct chemicals and within chemical families. The book offers a concise presentation of the topics of most importance to emergency responders on a day-to-day basis. It provides the basic chemistry a responder needs to understand chemical terminology and communicate with others about the chemicals involved in hazardous materials incidents.

This text covers monitors and detection devices for both hazardous materials and weapons of mass destruction (WMD). It also provides these agencieswith a broad spectrum picture of monitoring, one that can help with purchasing decisions and in the implementation of a monitoring strategy. This text covers a wide variety of detection devices, some basic and some advanced. An important part it is how to use these devices tactically and how to interpret the readings. The backbone of the text is the discussion of risk-based response (RBR), which is a common approach to emergency response.Many response agencies follow a risk-based response, and NFPA 472 Standard for Competence of Responders to Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents includes the recommendation to follow this method. The goal of RBR is to assist the responder in making appropriate decisions regarding response tactics. Hazardous Materials: Monitoring and Detection Devices Third Edition covers the thought process behind RBR, the technology that runs monitoring devices and how they work and, more importantly, when they do not work in order to keep you as safe as possible..
