This book is an authoritative work on the risk management of chemicals and fills an important gap in the market, which is devoid of works on the subject. It reviews the current status of risks entailed in the manufacture, handling, use and disposal of the chemicals on which we all depend and suggests future action for the protection of both the workplace and the natural environment. Risk Management of Chemicals has an international authorship and addresses international issues. It is the sequel to the RSC's publications `Toxic Hazard Assessment of Chemicals' and `Risk Assessment of Chemicals in the Environment' and like those should find an important place as a key reference work. This book is a must for graduates, researchers, regulatory bodies, safety professionals, trade unions, politicians and anyone with an interest in this area.
