Chemical Protective Clothing, Second Edition

We have made a great deal of progress since the days when animal hides were the only control option in a hazardous chemical situation. Here, contributors start from the skin out to describe chemical protection clothing (CPC) on a theoretical as well as practical basis, including factors affecting the skin barrier, types of clothing and their own chemistry, test methods and standards, selection criteria, handling heat stress, decontamination, and keys to developing a successful CPC program. Chapters include glossaries, references, and their own appendices. There is no index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
