Sax's Dangerous Properties of
Industrial Materials

11th Edition • 3 Volume Set
edited by Richard J. Lewis, Sr

The number one resource for those who need to evaluate the hazard of substances used in commerce!

For over 40 years, Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials (DPIM) has successfully fulfilled its mission to promote safety by providing the most up-to-date hazard information available.

Now in a completely updated Eleventh Edition, DPIM continues to lead the way as today's most comprehensive chemical reference available. It is a vast, reliable source of critical information on health and safety data, regulatory standards, toxicity, carcinogenicity, and physical properties of the chemicals encountered in today's industries.

Highlights include:

• A special appendix containing information of nerve gases and biological agents that might appear in the workplace as a result of terrorist activity

• It is the only reference that combines, for so many substances, data on toxicological, fire, reactivity, explosive potential, and regulatory information

• Regulatory data covers exposure level classifications for a number of regulatory agencies, from OSHA to the U.S. Department of Transportation

It contains extensive data on approximately 26,000 substances, including over 2,500 new entries. This three-volume set now includes Immediately Dangerous Life or Health (IDHL) levels for approximately 1,000 chemicals, proving essential for designing adequate ventilation systems and selection of respiratory protection.

Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials 11th Edition provides an essential, up-to-date resource for professionals in industrial hygiene, safety, emergency response, law, and policymaking.

Also available in CD-ROM format!
