The schedule of chemicals (refer to Chapter 2 for the list) is found in the Annex on Chemicals of the CWC. The schedule of chemicals categorizes the CWC-regulated chemicals into three schedules (1, 2, and 3) according to the chemical properties, toxicity, application, and level of regulation by the CWC. The number of analytical data that is in the version of the OCAD released in October 2002 is presented in Table 1.

During transport through the atmosphere, all except the most inert substances are likely to participate in some form of chemical reaction. This process can transform a chemical from its original state, the physical (gas, liquid, or solid) and chemical form in which it first enters the atmosphere, to another state that may have either similar or very different characteristics. Transformation products can differ from their parent substance in their chemical properties, toxicity, and other characteristics. These products may be removed from the atmosphere in a manner very different from that of their precursors. For example, when a substance that was originally emitted as a gas is transformed into a particle, the overall removal is usually hastened since particles often tend to be removed from the air more rapidly than gases.

Reverting to the NIH/EPA Chemical Information System (CIS), this has recently added a new database called CESARS (Chemical Evaluation Search and Retrieval System) which includes physical and chemical properties, toxicity, carcinogenicity, and environmental fate (degradation). 

Accepted criteria for toxicological and hygienic pesticide assessments in the USSR are also systematically reviewed, with respect to the evaluation of physical and chemical properties, toxicity as defined through acute and subacute experiments, cumulative properties, and effects on skin and mucous membranes. The methodology for establishing threshold and noneffective (harmless) levels is also described, along with the prediction of delayed adverse effects. 

This comprehensive reference book on organic solvents examines the physical and chemical properties, toxicities, and uses of solvents used in the chemical and related process industries. Environmental concerns and safe handling of solvents are also examined. The term solvent may be defined ... 

T. Cairns and J. Sherma, eds.. Comprehensive Analytical Profiles of Important Pesticides, CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla., 1992, 304 pp. From the series ModemMethods for Pesticide Analysis, provides detailed information on properties and analytical methodology for nine prominent pesticides, pyrethroids, and fumigants in food. Includes formulations and uses, chemical and physical properties, toxicity data, and tolerances on various foods and feeds. Analytical information may be given in enough detail for methods to be carried out without having to consult additional Hterature sources.

Engineering factors include (a) contaminant characteristics such as physical and chemical properties - concentration, particulate shape, size distribution, chemical reactivity, corrosivity, abrasiveness, and toxicity (b) gas stream characteristics such as volume flow rate, dust loading, temperature, pressure, humidity, composition, viscosity, density, reactivity, combustibility, corrosivity, and toxicity and (c) design and performance characteristics of the control system such as pressure drop, reliability, dependability, compliance with utility and maintenance requirements, and temperature limitations, as well as size, weight, and fractional efficiency curves for particulates and mass transfer or contaminant destruction capability for gases or vapors. 

For the environmental engineer, this handbook provides extensive technical data on toxic chemical properties and detailed instructional aid on how to properly prepare toxic chemical release inventory reporting. The volume contains numerous examples on preparing SARA Title III chemical release reports and provides a compendium of State and Regional contacts within the Environmental Protection Agency.
