Does the identification number 60 indicate a toxic substance or a flammable solid, in the molten state at an elevated temperature? Does the identification number 1035 indicate ethane or butane? What is the difference between natural gas transmission pipelines and natural gas distribution pipelines? If you came upon an overturned truck on the highway that was leaking, would you be able to identify if it was hazardous and know what steps to take? Questions like these and more are answered in the Emergency Response Guidebook. Learn how to identify symbols for and vehicles carrying toxic, flammable, explosive, radioactive, or otherwise harmful substances and how to respond once an incident involving those substances has been identified. Always be prepared in situations that are unfamiliar and dangerous and know how to rectify them. Keeping this guide around at all times will ensure that, if you were to come upon a transportation situation involving hazardous substances or dangerous goods, you will be able to help keep others and yourself out of danger. With color-coded pages for quick and easy reference, this is the official manual used by first responders in the United States and Canada for transportation incidents involving dangerous goods or hazardous materials.

Hazardous Chemical Regulations Database is a unique database that contains regulatory information for over 500 chemicals. The regulatory information that applies to each chemical is derived from seven major regulatory groups of standards, including the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation & Liability Act (CERCLA) and Superfund Ammendment & Reauthorization Act (SARA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA), Worker Exposure Information, and other information. The database is available on 3-1/2" and 5-1/4" diskettes and can be used on IBM or IBM-compatible equipment. Chemical manufacturers, chemical formulators, environmental engineers, environmental chemists, industrial hygienists, toxicologists, lawyers, and federal and state regulators should consider Hazardous Chemical Regulations Database essential in order to stay abreast of the latest regulatory information affecting hazardous chemicals. INFORMATION PROVIDED for EACH REGULATORY GROUP OF STANDARDS Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This includes chemicals regulated using TCLP or P and U waste or that are on EPA's Appendix 8 or Appendix 9 (groundwater) Lists. EPA method numbers are referenced for the Appendix 9 compounds. Also RCRA treatment standards are provided including Restricted Waste Numbers, and Permissible Constituent Concentrations in waste extracts and in wastes. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA) These include Final Reportable Quantities, Threshold Planning Quantities, Statutory Reportable Quantities, and Title III Section 313 hazardous chemicals with their reportable De minimus percents. Clean Water Act (CWA) This includes industrial wastewaters with chemicals defined as "toxic pollutants", "conventional pollutants", and/or "priority pollutants". Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) This includes chemicals listed in the 1986/1988 standard, the 1991 Second Triennial List, National Secondary Drinking Water (NSDW) regulations, or the National Primary Drinking Water (NPDW) regulations (the latter includes both current and future NPDW standards with Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) and MCL Goals). 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) This includes "40 CFR Part 61" hazardous air pollutants and National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards (the latter includes both primary and secondary standards with annual or hourly average permissible concentrations). It also includes the 1990 Title 3 Hazardous Air Pollutants. Worker Exposure Information This includes the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) ratings (for health, flammability, and reactivity), carcinogenicity (as defined by listings in the NTP 5th Annual Report or an 1ARC monograph), OSHA federally enforceable exposure limits, and the America Conference of Governmental Industrial hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLVs). Other Information This includes notations for state regulated chemicals for Massachusetts, New Jersey and California (Proposition 65 chemicals exhibiting reproductive toxicity or cancer causing properties), Canada's Workplace Hazardous Material Information System (WHMIS) minimum percentage concentration levels for regulation, and the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) identification number for shipping regulated substances.

The Manual of Tests and Criteria contains criteria, test methods and procedures to be used for classification of dangerous goods according to the provisions of Parts 2 and 3 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, as well as of chemicals presenting physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). As a consequence, it supplements also national or international regulations which are derived from the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods or the GHS. At its ninth session (7 December 2018), the Committee adopted a set of amendments to the sixth revised edition of the Manual as amended by Amendment 1. This seventh revised edition takes account of these amendments. In addition, noting that the work to facilitate the use of the Manual in the context of the GHS had been completed, the Committee considered that the reference to the "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods" in the title of the Manual was no longer appropriate, and decided that from now on, the Manual should be entitled "Manual of Tests and Criteria".

Since its inception in the early 1950s, this work has become the "bible" for those who need to evaluate the hazard of substances used in commerce. It is the only reference that combines, for so many substances, data on toxicological, fire, reactivity, explosive potential, and regulatory information. Highly acclaimed in the professional journals, it was reviewed as "an indispensable reference guide for professionals responsible for managing industrial safety and occupational exposure...an extraordinary work," and as "a monumental work...Efforts like this are the things of what history is made," among other reviews.
