Sittig's Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Carcinogens has been published in a larger format to accomodate a massive infusion of data that doubles the size of the previous edition. Each chemical record is presented in a uniform format to make it easy for those who must find vital information quickly and make appropriate response decisions. It continues to keep pace with the explosion of hazardous chemical data and fulfills the needs of health, safety, and environmental personnel in every industry where chemicals are used, federal, state, and local government regulators, public safety personnel including emergency responders and transporters of hazardous materials.

This handbook remains the only complete reference providing critical information on the 1,500 most heavily used, transported, and regulated chemical substances of occupational and environmental concern.

View Sittig's Hazardous Chemicals Database CD-ROM—the unique compilation of two important references, Sittig's Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Carcinogens and the International Resources Guide to Hazardous Chemicals.
