Sommario/riassunto

In spite of the good safety records of chemical plants many people regard chemical production as dangerous because of a few major accidents that have occurred.A knowledge of at least the fundamentals of chemical safety technology is indispensable for chemists and engineers working in chemical industry. The increasingly stringent legal and administrative requirements can only be answered by more highly qualified employees.This book combines the author's experience of 15 years of research in the field of chemical safety and 10 years in the chemical industry. It provides newcomers
