Hughes For professionals in occupational health and related fields, one reference guide has earned a reputation as the indispensable resource on unsafe chemicals: Proctor and Hughes’ Chemical Hazards of the W... more »orkplace. The legacy continues with this new edition; offering accurate, up-to-the-minute analyses of over 600 potentially dangerous chemicals all in a streamlined format that lets you find crucial information quickly and put it to work immediately. Since the previous edition of Proctor and Hughes’ Chemical Hazards of the Workplace, more extensive research (including an increased number of human studies) has led to a better understanding of which chemicals are dangerous in a work environment and why. To reflect the latest advances and regulatory standards, this new edition incorporates:

Coverage of 60 new chemicals
Updated monographs
More data on acute and chronic effects (especially as related to known exposure levels)
Expanded information on carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reproductive effects
More human studies, replacing animal data whenever possible, to provide data more relevant to occupational exposure
1995 Threshold Limit Values, the latest assessments available for amounts permitted in the workplace
New treatment protocols whenever available
New information on medical surveillance techniques (including biological monitoring) and exposure prevention

The proven Proctor and Hughes’ format makes the following essential information supremely accessible:

For each chemical, the book provides a concise profile, including the chemical formula, CAS number, Threshold Limit Value, synonyms, physical properties, sources of exposure, and routes of exposure.
Specific information on dose responses, target organs, signs and symptoms of exposure, as well as carcinogenic, mutagenic and fetotoxic status, is highlighted.
Thorough cross-referencing and a complete index make information easy to locate.
First-source references point the way to more detailed information.
Introductory sections review concepts of toxicology, clinical manifestations of toxic exposure, occupational disease diagnosis, and important aspects of industrial hygiene.

No occupational health professional should be without the new Fourth Edition of Proctor and Hughes’ Chemical Hazards of the Workplace.
