Papers from a workshop held in New Delhi, Jan. 27-Feb. 2, 1987
A large number of high volume chemicals are manufactured, transported, stored, marketed or disposed of as waste worldwide, and these pose a signifigant risk from accidents and/or poisonings. This book is the result of a workshop held in New Delhi and should not be considered as a manual for chemical management, but rather as a source of critical information for those in governments and industry who have to deal with such emergencies, or have to develop more effective emergency response systems within their countries or as part of internationally coordinated programs.
