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.
