RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, have been grouped into nine series. These nine broad categories
were established to facilitate further development and application of environmental
technology. Elimination of traditional grouping was consciously planned to foster
technology transfer and a maximum interface in related fields. The nine series are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
6. Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
7. Interagency Energy-Environment Research and Development
8. "Special" Reports
9. Miscellaneous Reports
This report has been assigned to the ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING series.This series
describes research conducted to develop new or improved methods and instrumentation
for the identification and quantification of environmental pollutants at the lowest
conceivably significant concentrations. It also includes studies to determine the ambient
concentrations of pollutants in the environment and/or the variance of pollutants as a
function of time or meteorological factors.

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
Part B - Chemical Data should be used in conjunction with Part A of this
manual as a reference to the nature and known hazards of 655 specific chemical
compounds. Safety and first aid measures in the event of exposure are in-
cluded. Part B is not designed as a stand-alone reference. It is packaged in
its present form, separate from Part A, to facilitate the addition of new
chemical data sheets and allow update or modification of the chemical data
already included, as new information becomes available.
It is strongly recommended that personnel be familiar with the contents
of this manual and have read the introductory chapters (Part A) prior to re-
sponding to spills of any type.
Part A should be inserted and maintained in a loose-leaf binder with Part
B. The user must be familiar with the explanatory information of Part A to
effectively utilize the chemical data sheets in Part B of this manual.
Part A discussed toxicity and factors determining and influencing toxic
effects; protective measures to avoid exposure, and first aid practices in the
event of exposure to hazardous substances; and factors which may complicate
the spill-site picture. Also included in"Part A is a method for prioritizing
chemical spills on the basis of specific health, reactivity and fire hazards
and historical spill frequencies. A group of 273 chemical compounds are so
ranked, using the formula presented.
Information essential to the effective use of the chemical data sheets
(Part B), e.g., explanation of the coding system for hazard identification, as
well as the sources of the chemical information used are presented in Part A.
Part B contains an index of the 655 chemical compounds addressed by this
manual, followed by alphabetized chemical data sheets with specific precaution-
ary information and first aid procedures. The data sheets cross-reference the
known common synonyms of the various chemicals as well as available trade
names.
The information included in the chemical data sheets of Part B represents
material that was available in the source reference documents as of 1975. Data
sheets are included for 655 compounds, even when no information was listed.
These sheets can be updated as information on the compounds becomes available.

16. ABSTRACT
This two-part document is intended to serve as a guide to the hazards associated with
a broad range of chemical compounds which may be encountered in hazardous materials
spills. The document addresses 655 chemicals identified on the basis of known toxicity
or spill history and designated "hazardous" by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
•Part A of this document is a safety and first aid reference for personnel responding to
Tspills of hazardous materials which may involve any of the chemicals addressed. It
includes safety considerations, first aid procedures, and descriptions of protective
equipment; a description of the hazard-rating system used in Part B; and a priority
listing of hazardous materials based on their hazard ratings and reported spill
frequency.
Part B of this document is an index of the 655 chemicals. Part B includes a data sheet
for each chemical showing its CAS number, synonyms, and hazard priority number, and
giving information on hazards, safety measures, and exposure. This part is provided in
la form for loose-leaf binding to facilitate addition, revision, and update as new data
[become available.
