Download or read book Guidelines for the Selection of Chemical Protective Clothing Volume 2 Technical and Reference Manual written by A. D. Schwope and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of protective clothing items are commercially available for emergency response and other applications where chemical hazards may be encountered. Data and information for selecting chemical protective clothing is either not available or is inconsistant from source to source. In 1983, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sponsored the development of chemical protective clothing selection guidelines to assist their own Office of Health and Safety in providing guidance to personnel, primarily EPA employees and contractors, working on hazardous waste sites. These guidelines allowed a user to select an 'appropriate' protective material for a specific chemical, select a clothing item (glove, suit, etc.), and then determine which manufacturers offered the clothing item in the recommended material. The U.S, Coast Guard Office of Research and Development and the EPA have supplemented these guidelines with additional data on material chemical resistance, material physical properties, clothing design features, and specific vendor products. A chapter has been added for selecting chemical protective suits. These guidelines contain data for over 750 chemicals and 700 clothing products. Volume I provides performance information and recommendations for selecting different types of protective clothing. Volume II contains a detailed technical discussion, and the data on which Volume I recommendations are based. The U.S. Coast Guard intends to use these guidelines for protective clothing selection by its National Strike Force and Marine Safety Offices. Keywords: Chemical Resistance Data; Material Physical Property Data.

Download or read book Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation Degradation Database IBM Version written by Krister Forsberg and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-10-26 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three most important things to evaluate when selecting Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC) are 1) evidence of degradation of the garment exposed to a chemical; 2) breakthrough time, and 3) permeation rate. Because proper CPC selection must be based on permeation and degradation tests performed upon specific manufacturer products, you need an information source that enables you to access test results quickly and easily. Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database is that source. It is the world's largest international CPC database, containing over 12,000 results from tests of more than 660 chemicals and mixtures against more than 250 CPC models. Every test result has a complete reference source. Use Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database as a supplement to your Material Safety Data Sheets to help select the best garments for your particular needs. It will be just as important to use this information to evaluate your existing stock of CPC to determine which chemicals they should not be used with. Furthermore, the powerful searching capabilities built into the database programs help to provide rapid responses in emergency situations, especially when used on portable computers. Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database is completely menu-driven and features automatic installation for quick and easy use. It can be searched by such key items as chemical, chemical class, garment material, manufacturer, product model number, and reference source. The powerful searching programs performs "and/or"-type searches, and the results may be automatically printed or exported to disk files. Common synonyms are also listed so computerized searches will easily locate every chemical of interest. The IBM version of Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database can be used on IBM-compatible machines with 640K RAM and a hard drive. You should have DOS Version 2.0 or higher and at least 1MB of available hard drive disk space to use the program. The power and versatility of Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database makes it essential for industrial hygienists, lab managers and technicians, workers in chemical laboratories, safety professionals, emergency response personnel, fire fighters, and regulators.

Download or read book Chemical and Biological Terrorism written by Committee on R&D Needs for Improving Civilian Medical Response to Chemical and Biological Terrorism Incidents and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-02-26 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threat of domestic terrorism today looms larger than ever. Bombings at the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City's Federal Building, as well as nerve gas attacks in Japan, have made it tragically obvious that American civilians must be ready for terrorist attacks. What do we need to know to help emergency and medical personnel prepare for these attacks? Chemical and Biological Terrorism identifies the R&D efforts needed to implement recommendations in key areas: pre-incident intelligence, detection and identification of chemical and biological agents, protective clothing and equipment, early recognition that a population has been covertly exposed to a pathogen, mass casualty decontamination and triage, use of vaccines and pharmaceuticals, and the psychological effects of terror. Specific objectives for computer software development are also identified. The book addresses the differences between a biological and chemical attack, the distinct challenges to the military and civilian medical communities, and other broader issues. This book will be of critical interest to anyone involved in civilian preparedness for terrorist attack: planners, administrators, responders, medical professionals, public health and emergency personnel, and technology designers and engineers.

Download or read book Emergency Response and Hazardous Chemical Management written by Clyde B. Strong and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management of hazardous chemicals and materials-particularly during emergency release situations-is a critical part of routine training required for workers and professionals in the chemical, petroleum and manufacturing industries. Proper storage of highly reactive chemical agents, correct choice of protective clothing and safety issues in confined spaces are vital to operating facilities. Inattention to these and other issues covered in this book can result in a loss of life, dispersal of toxic chemical agents into the environment, or fire and explosion and subsequent legal liabilities. Emergency Response and Hazardous Chemical Management: Principles and Practices provides a concise reference for management and workers on the important issues regarding the use and management of hazardous chemicals as well as the critical issues in the emergency response management of uncontrolled releases of hazardous agents. This book combines practical information on hazardous chemical response and environmental management with scientific and management issues important in the development of sound chemical management planning. Important current topics such as hazardous chemical management in confined spaces are also covered in detail.
