Bevelacqua, Armando S. 2001. Hazardous Materials Chemistry. New York: Delmar
Practical introduction to chemistry intended for first responders, hazardous materials technicians, and incident commanders. This book is meant to give these personnel an understanding of basic chemical concepts and how they relate to the hazardous materials response scene. Nomenclature ("a means of enemy identification"), physical and chemical aspects of compounds, pH, radiation, are some key concepts covered. Organic and inorganic compounds are both included in the treatment. All concepts are related to the mitigation of a hazard. Glossary, list of acronyms, subject index, and list of book, database and web resources are also included.

Federal Emergency Management Agency. 1998. Hazardous Materials Guide for First Responders. Louisville: University of Louisville
First responders will find the guide has important information on the initial response to both transportation and fixed facility incidents. It has been designed to present a maximum amount of useful key information in a limited amount of space. Because most first responders are trained at the Awareness or Operational levels, the guide is directed at appropriate responses for these levels of training. Information is organized with specific reference to accident site clues, and includes charts of DOT placards, silhouettes of rail cars/tank trucks/chemical tanks to aid in identification, glossary of terms and abbreviations, explanation of the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 704 Placard summarizing acute health, fire and reactivity hazards, and materials response summary table. Other sections include UN/NA Number Index, explanation of how to use the guide, and a large section of guides to specific materials.
