Handbook of Chemical Regulations

This book is the first of its kind to provide a compendium of environmental, health and safety, and engineering concepts for global harmonization, based on a framework of regulatory standards. Understanding the scientific concepts that are inherent in chemical usage and their interplay globally is essential for chemical manufacturers, processors, distributors, importers, exporters, and other users. An easy to read guide to navigating global harmonization, this book offers reasons behind major requirements for chemical production, distribution, importation, and usage.
