MDI and TDI: Safety, Health and the Environment

A Source Book and Practical Guide MDI and TDI are polymer building blocks with a wide range of applications in industry. Both are used in large quantities and can be found in a wide variety of industries and applications. As there use will often involve large numbers of workers they are also subject to stringent health and safety regulations. This book covers all the important topics concerning MDI and TDI and provides comprehensive coverage on the health and environmental science associated with these. Considering the risk management of both substances this is the first book to offer comprehensive discussion of health and environmental issues. Contents
