• This book is designed as a ready, practical first aid reference guide for persons concerned in adminstering first aid to others engaged in working with dangerous gases; i.e. asphyxiant and toxic gases. The dangerous gases considered are those generally available commercially and used in diverse industrial, educational, scientific and technological applications. This edition also incorporates specific recommendations designed to minimize and hopefully eliminate accidents relating to handling of hazardous gases.
