Methods for Assessing and Reducing Injury from Chemical Accidents

This volume embodies the efforts of a body of scientists who met in New Delhi in 1987 to review the methodologies of prevention and of reducing the injury to human health and the environment.

The symposium was a response to a series of recent catastrophic accidents connected with toxic chemicals. This monograph should not be considered as a manual for chemical accident management, but rather as a source of critical information for those in governments and industry who have to deal with such emergencies.
