Therefore, the book provides additional information about hidden hazards for each hazard class. It discusses individual chemicals, their hazards and their physical and chemical characteristics, both as distinct chemicals and within chemical families. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book offers a concise presentation of the topics of most importance to emergency responders on a day-to-day basis.
