Emergency Characterization of Unknown Materials,Second Edition is a comprehensive and up-to-date resource for workers responsible for responding to and managing unknown hazardous materials in the field and laboratory. The book emphasizes public safety and the management of life safety hazards, including strategies and emerging technologies for identifying the hazards presented by these materials.
The first edition of this book was widely acclaimed for its emphasis on public safety and the management of life safety hazards. The second edition continues this tradition, providing a comprehensive guide to identifying and characterizing unknown materials.
The book begins by discussing the importance of risk analysis in emergency response. It outlines procedures for identifying threats and vulnerabilities and analyzing them to determine how such risks can be eliminated or reduced. If an unknown material can be identified with a high degree of confidence, it can significantly change the response, and measures to be taken.
In addition to risk analysis, the book covers practical field applications with updated and additional examples of field instruments. The hazard identification methods presented are intended for use by frontline workers, using a hands-on approach with small sample amounts. The three technologies used by first responders and military personnel to identify unknown chemicals, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and high-pressure mass spectroscopy, are covered in depth.
The book also includes practical examples to introduce new first responders to hazardous materials response. It provides up-to-date field applications of the latest developments in commercially available instruments and technologies.
Emergency Characterization of Unknown Materials,Second Edition is an essential resource for anyone working in the field of emergency response, including firefighters, HAZMAT teams, and industrial safety professionals. It provides a comprehensive and practical guide to identifying and characterizing unknown materials, ensuring that workers can respond safely and effectively to emergencies involving hazardous materials.
