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). 

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. 

This chapter is organized into three main sections providing discussions on the chemistry of fire and explosion, and the chemistry of hazardous materials. The last section of this chapter provides the reader with an extensive glossary of technical terms dealing with chemical hazards and hazard materials handling. 

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. 

Due to the multidisciplinary nature of this book a given reader is likely to encounter unfamiliar terms or definitions that are not completely clear. For this reason we have compiled a glossary of terms which constitutes Appendix A. A Glossary of Chemical Compounds is given in Appendix B. 

We begin with a glossary of the terms by which the regulatory status of food ingredients is defined. To be used in food, a chemical substance must be either a "food additive" or "Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)" or "prior sanctioned."... 

Nill, K. R. 2005. Glossary of Biotechnology Terms, 4th ed. http //biotechterms.org (accessed June 17, 2010). Boca Raton, FL CRC Press. Detailed definitions of biotechnical, biological, and chemical terms appropriate for the nonexpert. 

Several useful appendices and other material follow the text. Appendix 1 contains information on how to treat spills Appendix 2, on the hazard characteristics of selected chemicals Appendix 3 shows appropriate warning signs Appendix 4 discusses requirements for shipping hazardous materials Appendix S contains information on resources for safety information and Appendix 6, on a suggested syllabus for a safety course. A glossary of important terms, a list of literature cited in the text, and, finally, a list of additional readings in safety and allied areas follow the append-ices.The topics included should allow the reader of this book to learn about the full scope of biomedical research safety and to apply that knowledge to the practice of safety in the biomedical research laboratory. 

Abstract This document presents recommended definitions of basic terms related to polymerization processes. Recent developments relating to the kinetics, thermodynamics, and mechanisms of polymerization have necessitated the introduction of new terms and some revision or augmentation of terms previously defined in the Compendium of Chemical Terminology (the Gold Book ) or the lUPAC Glossary of Basic Terms in Polymer Science . 

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).
