The book lists physical, chemical, and physiological properties of chemicals; hazardous reactions; and spill and waste disposal procedures. The data about properties and hazardous reactions are intended to provide the user with sufficient information to handle the chemicals safely with appropriate precautions and personal protection. There are two important factors included in the spill and waste disposal procedures. First, procedures are listed for individual chemicals. In this way, it is possible to detail precise conditions and exact quantities of reagents for each chemical to be destroyed. Second, the majority of the procedures were tested in the laboratory for safety to the operator, reliability and to check that they met the desired criteria for conversion of the hazardous material to nonhazardous products. These laboratory-tested procedures have been organized in this book in a format that enables them to be easily performed by anyone with rudimentary training in chemistry. Disposal methods for heavy metals, salts, explosive chemicals, and toxic organic materials are included
