With Pohanish and Greene's Hazardous Materials Handbook, the search for critical data on commonly used industrial materials becomes easier, more reliable, and more productive than ever before. Safety, environmental, and emergency response professionals no longer have to rely on an assortment of unwieldy references offering differing formats and lacking quick-reference indexes.

The authors have used the Chemical Hazards Response Information System (CHRIS) Manual, a multi-volume, loose-leaf publication from the U.S. Coast Guard, as the model and starting point.

This well-regarded resource was updated, expanded, and reorganized, to create a convenient, next-generation handbook offering greater range, depth, and relevance of information required by those who must manage the aftermath of chemical spills and other incidents as well as the effects on businesses, employees, and the environment.
