To assist the reader in understanding the material, a glossary defines chemical terms that may not be familiar to the reader. A table of common and ancient names is also included in the backmatter. This is useful in helping the reader interpret ambiguous common names. For example, the word lime can refer to slaked lime, quicklime, or to some limestone. 

This book starts each chapter with a self-test to check on chemical understanding, and then proceeds to move through the subject matter, always within the context of current practice. Anyone able to pass well on the self-test can move onto the next chapter. I hope you will find the Glossary a useful reference source for a number of chemical terms.

The glossary has been revised to help users with general chemical terms. Temperatures appear in both Fahrenheit and Celsius using the format (xxx°F/xxx°C). A more detailed description of profile contents appears in the next section. All Chemical Abstract Service Numbers (CAS) have been checked. To save space, many similar and contiguous chemical names and synonyms (with the same CAS number) have been combined into a single entry. Also, foreign language entries, trade names, and common or trivial names of chemicals often used in the workplace or laboratory contain a reference to the main entry (e.g., see methyl ethyl ketone for the MEK entry). 

Finally, the cycle which summarizes the equilibrium of mercury in nature is presented. The cycle can be considered closed through the physical transfer of mercury in deep sea sediments to the continents by plate tectonics, where mercury will eventually be remobilized by magmatic heat, erosion, and mining. Since some of the geological and chemical terms may be unfamiliar to the reader, a glossary is included.

The chemical formulas of compounds cited in this book are listed in Appendix A. Appendices B and C are glossaries of physical and chemical terms and scientific names of fish, respectively. Appendix D consists of equations for the evaluation of physico-chemical fate processes, referred to in Chapter 2. 

The April 1988 issue of the Journal of Chemical Education contains a number of articles on polymers including a historical review enti tied Polymers Are Everywhere (pp 327-334) and a glossary of terms (pp 314-319)... 

A number of glossaries of terms and symbols used in the several branches of chemistry have been pubHshed. They include physical chemistry (102), physical—organic chemistry (103), and chemical terminology (other than nomenclature) treated in its entirety (104). lUPAC has also issued recommendations in the fields of analytical chemistry (105), coUoid and surface chemistry (106), ion exchange (107), and spectroscopy (108), among others. 

Refer to the handbook s Glossary. The definitions provided are universally recognized. Many of these terms are not just pertinent to inhalation hazards. It would be remiss not to mention other risks beyond inhalation from chemical exposure in a work environment and to the general public. 

To use the volume effectively, the reader should first review the Glossary of Terms section immediately preceding the first chemical entry. This section contains precise definitions used for certain parameters where data have been obtained for each chemical. A review of these terms will help the reader interpret certain information. In addition, a list of abbreviations used throughout the volume is also provided in the front section of the handbook. 

For terminology and concepts in physical organic chemistry we rely mainly on the Glossary of Terms used in Physical Organic Chemistry (IUPAC, 1983) and the Compendium of Chemical Terminology (IUPAC, 1987 a).

To date, the Part II Programme has focused upon four major projects (1) The development and implementation of a set of Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP s) (2) Resolution of issues concerning Confidentiality of Data (3) Development of a Glossary of Key Terms and (4) Development of guidelines and other procedures for the exchange of information (e.g., re test data, the export of hazardous chemicals, and the labelling of hazardous chemicals). 

A Glossary defines terms related to chemical reactivity hazards. 

The list in Table 4.2 indicates the basic chemical reactivity hazard information that needs to be known for each substance. This is an extension of the information needed for the Preliminary Screening Method of Chapter 3. The Glossary at the end of of this publication gives definitions for most of the terms used in the table. 

Presented here is a glossary of terms related to the subject of this Concept Book. Several glossary entries are not used elsewhere in this publication. They have been included in case the user comes across an unfamiliar term in the course of managing chemical reactivity hazards. The Sources in the last column are all included in the reference list in the Reference section of this publication. Words in square brackets have been added to referenced definition. 

In addition to Appendix A providing Supplementary Data in support of several chapters in Section II, Appendix B provides a glossary of Common Terms and Acronyms associated with molecular mechanics and quantum chemical models.
