Review Major Hazards and Their Management - IChemE / Gulf Publishing Company:This book describes how a company in the process industries anticipates a major hazard incident and makes plans for mitigation and emergency response. A major hazard incident is an accident with the potential to kill three or more people on site and cause injury to or need for evacuation of those off site. The book looks at the development of major hazard incidents and their features. Chapters are dedicated to source terms, gas dispersion, fires, explosions and toxic hazards. Process safety now extends the role of the engineer beyond basic Hazop studies into safety management systems. Any company involved in a process which can give rise to a major hazard incident must possess this expertise. Safety audits are also fundamental; they determine the loss control effectiveness of an organization's safety activities as measured against a set of international or national standards. The author examines a selection of major incidents from history (including Bhopal, Feyzin, Chernobyl, Herald of Free Enterprise and Piper Alpha), fits the sequence of events into a general incident scenario and proposes a keyword approach to root causes.

Review Food Safety Hazard Guidebook / Royal Society of Chemistry:The book is a guidebook, rather than an encyclopedia, which acts as a portal for the immense and ever expanding body of scientific knowledge that exists for food safety. It is an easy-to-use information resource for anyone with a professional interest in the safety of the food supply. The book is easy to navigate and presents concise and carefully researched factual information on a wide range of biological and chemical hazards in a clear format that is designed to support risk analysis exercises and HACCP studies. It covers a broad range of established and emerging food safety hazards and includes details of authoritative sources of further information (many web-based) for those seeking to examine a topic in greater depth. The section on food allergens is a particularly valuable component of the book, the chapters on fish toxins are also useful and unusual in a book of this kind and bacterial pathogens are comprehensively covered. One of the most important features of the book is the wide scope of the content and the highly structured format designed to help the reader find information quickly. Other key benefits to the reader are: -the wide range of biological and chemical hazards covered in a single book; -written specifically with food industry professionals in mind; -easy to navigate and accessible for the non-expert;-clear and concise presentation of factual information presented in a format that lends itself to use in risk assessment exercises; -inclusion of references and web links to reliable sources of further information on each chapter; -specifically designed for practical use by a professional readership.

Review Chemical Brain Injury (Environmental Health) / Van Nostrand Reinhold Company:chemical brain injury Kaye H. Kilburn, M. D. The idea that the brain is the most susceptible body organ to the adverse effects of chemicals seemed a remote possibility a decade or two ago. Among the skeptics was Dr. Kaye H. Kilburn. Well-known in Environmental Medicine and Occupational Health, he had demonstrated that airways-obstruction caused the Monday-morning asthma from cotton dust in textile workers that led to the Cotton Dust Standard. He showed how asbestos scarred the lungs’ small airways to trap air and reduce vital capacity, and that welding fumes, aluminum refining, diesel exhaust, and formaldehyde caused asthma by narrowing small airways. These workers’ complaints of memory loss, inability to concentrate, dizziness, lightheadedness, and loss of balance led Dr. [+]Kilburn to consider how to measure brain functions. He borrowed and adapted tests and built devices to measure key brain activities, and learned to find out how symptoms predicted losses of balance, quickness, and strength, and loss of vision for color and form. Nearly 300 patients who had been exposed to chemicals were evaluated for diagnosis and nearly 4,000 people who had been exposed in groups were evaluated for chemical effects. Statistical analysis of patients gathered from individuals and groups in cities, towns, and rural areas provided complementary insights into the effects of chemicals. Chemical Brain Injury focuses on how common and abundant chemicals affect the brain. It synthesizes endeavors to assess the effects of chemicals that were gathered over 15 years and published in 30 widely-scattered papers. Included are effects of chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, chlordane, arsenic, trichoroethylene, PCBs, hydrochloric acid, and diesel exhaust. To understand how individuals and populations respond to chemicals, it considers the effects of aging, of years of school completed, and of sex, height, weight, and other factors. The book addresses such issues as:The infrequency of chemically unaffected populations in the United StatesMechanisms of brain damage from chemicalsPrognosis and therapyThe last section examines the social context and discusses such matters as:The future of neurotoxicology, including needs and responsibilityLegal proceedingsSocial changesChemical Brain Injury is the definitive volume on the adverse effects of chemical exposure on the human brain.

Review Edible Films and Coatings for Food Applications / Springer:Edible films and coatings play an important role in the quality, safety, transportation, storage, and display of a wide range of fresh and processed foods. Edible films and coatings, while preventing moisture loss and maintaining quality, prevent spoilage and microbial contamination of foods. The edible film and coating industry is now a multimillion dollar industry. Less than $1 million in 1999, the market has grown to more than $100 million and is expected to grow to $350 million by 2008, according to James Rossman of Rossman Consulting. Pharmaceutical and consumer products have been responsible for the tremendous increase. This growth has produced an enormous amount of scientific articles, patents, and research projects undertaken by members of the food industry, academia, and research institutions. Edible Films and Coatings for Food Applications brings together this vast wealth of scientific knowledge in a systematically organized volume. It examines the science, application, function, and market for edible films and coatings.
