Leaks of process materials are the process industries biggest hazard. Most of the materials handled will not burn or explode unless mixed with air in certain proportions. To prevent fires and explosions, we must therefore keep the fuel in the plant and the air out of the plant. The latter is relatively easy because most plants operate at pressure. Nitrogen is widely used to keep air out of low-pressure equipment, such as storage tanks (Section 5.4), stacks (Section 6.1). centrifuges (Section 10.1), and equipment that is dcpressured for maintenance (Section 1.3). 

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. 

It is nnnsnal to find a hazardons-waste-transfer facility at which wastes are simply transferred to larger transport vehicles. Some processing and storage facihties are often part of tlie materials-handling seqnence at a transfer section. For example, neutralization of corrosive wastes will resnlt in the nse of lower-cost holding tanks on transport vehicles. 

Observe normal precautions appropriate to the circumstances and quantity of material handled. Acetone is a skin and eye irritant [see Section 14), therefore gloves, eye protection and a respirator are recommended. In the UK, the long-term (8-hour TWA) exposure limit for acetone is 1210 mg/m (500ppm). The short-term (15-minute) exposure limit is 3620 mg/m (1500 ppm). ... 

Observe normal precautions appropriate to the circumstances and quantity of material handled. Protective gloves and safety goggles are recommended, and precautions should be taken to minimize exposure to the mucous membranes and respiratory tract. When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of SO2. See also Section 12.
