This is a hands-on reference for crime scene responders, policemen, firemen, bomb squad members, drug enforcement officials, and others who need to be able to identify potentially hazardous materials and react quickly and appropriately.
This book provides a quick resource for professionals so that the can determine if illegal activities a involving chemicals are taking place and any associated hazards with these activities. This book will help professionals determine more quickly the activities being preformed, and the methods and materials used, alerting them to possible dangers that are not otherwise apparent.
