The National Toxicology Program S Chemical Data Compendium Hazardous Properties And Uses

This Compendium provides a vast amount of information about potentially toxic chemicals to regulatory and research agencies, consultants, academics, and libraries.

This database consists of eight volumes containing 50 fields detailing information on 2,270 potentially toxic chemicals. Each compound is listed in every volume even when there is no information available for for it in some volumes. Throughout the volumes, the primary chemical name and the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (Cas. No.) remain constant and all 2,270 chemicals are listed alphabetically. The database can be sold as a set or individually. Each volume consists of one 3-1/2 and two 5-1/4 diskettes, and a 64 page manual that describes how to use the software. Diskettes will run on IBM or IBM-compatible equipment with DOS 2.0 and higher, 640k internal memory (RAM), and a hard drive with at least 2-17MB of available disk space. Volume 1 - Chemical names and synonyms. Consists of data entries from three fields: the primary name, CAS number, and synonyms. Volume 2 - Chemical and physical properties. Provides related chemical and physical; data commonly used to support a wide variety of needs ranging from chemical research to regulatory activities involving material safety data sheet (MSDS) preparation and shipping.Volume 3 - Standards and regulations: provides worker exposure hazard ratings and safety standards, regulations, and recommendations used to support safe handling of chemicals. Volume 4 - Medical hazards and symptoms of exposure. Designed to alert users about the type of hazards specific chemicals cause. This volume also contains a glossary that translates specialized medical terms into layman's language. Volume 5 - Medical first aid. Includes emergency response first aid information generated from an expert system named first response. Volume 6 - Personal protective equipment. Consists of information from three data fields: minimum protective clothing, recommended glove materials, and recommended respirators. Volume 7 - Hazardous properties and uses. Includes fire hazards, lower explosive limits (LEL) and upper explosive limits (UEL), reactivity, stability, and uses and comments. Volume 8 - Shipping classifications and regulations.Includes proper IATA shipping name, UN identification number, hazard class, subsidiary risk, packing group, labels required, special provisions, maximum quantity permitted on passenger or cargo airplanes, and packing instruction codes required for passenger or cargo aircraft.

This book is a compilation of experimentally determined solubility ranges of over 1,700 compounds in the National Toxicology Program's Chemical Repository. Each compound's solubility was determined in a consistent manner in one to six solvents. Solvents chosen were those most commonly used for toxicology studies, spill cleanups, and chemical synthesis or chemical reaction experiments. These solvents include acetone, 95% ethanol, water, dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol, and toluene. Data for many of the research and industrial chemicals featured in this volume do not exist anywhere else. If you are a toxicologist, safety professional, industrial hygienist, or chemist, this book is a valuable reference tool you'll find yourself using every day.

This Compendium provides a vast amount of information about potentially toxic chemicals to regulatory and research agencies, consultants, academics, and libraries.

The Regulated Chemicals Directory"lM is meant to be a convenient source of information for everyone who needs to keep up-to-date regarding the regulations and recommendations that pertain to chemical substances. The RCDTM is designed to be the first reference book to consult when beginning compliance efforts. Every regulatory or advisory list used in the RCDTM is keyed to its source, to help readers who need more detailed information on regulations, recommendations, or guidelines readily locate source documents. Some organizations now center their compliance efforts on computerized information stored in cross-referenced databases. A unique feature of the RCDTM is the availability of an electronic version suitable for use on IBM-compatible personal computers, download onto mainframes and CD-ROM players. Both the print and electronic versions are updated with the same timeliness. For more information on the electronic versions of the Regulated Chemicals DirectoryTM, contact Chapman & Hall directly (One Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10119, fax-212-564-1505). Many companies working on product development need information on what may be regulated in the future. The RCDTM provides selected information on pending regulations and in-progress testing lists, which can provide a starting place for tracking future regulatory considerations. Information for the RCDTM is continually gathered and updated. Suggestions from readers for information that should be added to the RCDTM or for other ways to improve the book are welcomed by Chapman & Hall. - Patricia L. Dsida, Pres.
