* Completely reorganized, this new edition of PATTY'S TOXICOLOGY encompasses eight core volumes and a cumulative index. For the vast majority of chapters (27 through 97, spanning Volumes II through VII) that focus on individual compounds or classes of compounds, a standardized format will be adopted to provide core identifying information for each compound, such as CAS Registry numbers, RTECS number, physical and chemical properties, threshold limit values (TLVs), permissible exposure limits (PELs), maximum workplace concentrations (MAK), and biological tolerance values for occupational exposures (BAT). * Volume I of PATTY'S TOXICOLOGY features 24 chapters in four sections, providing coverage of topics such as: use of toxicologic data to determine chemical safety; pathways and measuring exposure to toxic substances; reproductive toxicology; carcinogenesis; assessment of toxic risk; cancer risk assessment; toxic substance regulations and guidelines; and toxic chemical information sources. The section on inorganic particulates and dusts contains chapters on silica and silicon, asbestos, talcs, ceramic fibers, fiberglass, coal dust, and combustion products; the section on particulates of biological origin features chapters on biological agents, wood dust, cotton dust, allergens, and nylon flocking; while the section entitled infection agents in the workplace covers bloodborne pathogens, tuberculosis, and other infectious agents.

Review Quantitative Risk Assessment of Hazardous Materials Transport Systems: Rail, Road, Pipelines and Ship (Topics in Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality) / Springer:

This volume highlights the main procedures for assessing the regional risks resulting from dangerous goods storage, and transportation by means of different systems (i. e. , road, rail, ship, and pipeline). The information in the book is based on a wide range of references and studies. The main procedural steps involved in quantitative risk analysis for transportation systems are supported by relevant methods of risk assessment, as recognized at an international level. The book gives an overview of the criteria and guidelines applicable to the implementation of risk assessments and management at different stages. Chapter 1 describes the environmental and safety factors to consider when performing a transportation risk analysis for a region. Chapter 2 presents risk definitions and the methodology for analyzing transportation risks in a complex area. Chapter 3 presents general information about truck accidents and their consequences, and reviews the risk presented by road tunnels. Chapter 4 deals with transportation of hazardous materials by rail. [+]
Chapter 5 is concerned with the assessment of transportation risks on water ways. Chapter 6 furnishes a description of the transport pipelines for natural gas and petroleum products and describes the situation in Switzerland. Chapter 7 presents a compilation of statistical data related to accidents and the movement of dangerous goods. Chapter 8 is devoted to the description of data bases and computer support for risk assessment. Chapter 9 deals with integrated approaches for regional risk assessment and safety management with special emphasis to the transportation of hazardous materials.

Review Loss Prevention Symposia and CCPS International Conference Proceedings on CD-ROM / Wiley-AIChE:

This 39-year compilation of two leading process safety conferences presents in one convenient and easy-to-search resource over 2000 of the best papers on the subject. Using this product, users can access information across the full spectrum of chemical and petroleum process safety topics, as well as learn the historic basis for the most important process safety guidelines. Hundreds of case histories provide a deeper insight into what can go wrong. The Folio interface enables deep searching, annotation, bookmarking, and other powerful tools. The CCPS International Conference, held annually since 1986, focuses each year on one specific area of process safety and explores that area in depth with an international perspective. A rigorous paper selection process is used, in which fewer than half of all proposals are accepted for publication. Speakers and attendees from outside the US make up a large percentage of participation, providing a broad range of perspectives. Now in its 20th year, the CCPS conference has addressed all areas of process safety in depth several times, with extensive case histories. The AIChE Loss Prevention Symposium, held annually since 1967, brings together invited, peer reviewed papers covering a broad range of the process safety and loss prevention fields each year. The proceedings of the Loss Prevention Symposium are a rare and valuable source of the early history of process safety.
