Violent reactions, fire or explosions are caused by unstable chemicals or the reactions between one or more reactive chemicals under the wrong conditions. This book is a reference work on these hazards and presents the state of current knowledge. It is essential for anyone working with chemicals. Although generally similar in layout to earlier editions, an examination of the text will show significant changes throughout. The scope of the book is very wide and attempts to include every chemical for which documented information on reactive hazards has been found. The full list covers some 4600 elements and compounds and as many again of secondary entries involving two or more compounds. The general presentation has been developed from that of earlier editions to improve access to the database of information contained within two sections. One of the most interesting features of the book is the many cross references throughout both sections which link similar compounds or incidents not obviously related.
