The three most important things to evaluate when selecting Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC) are 1) evidence of degradation of the garment exposed to a chemical; 2) breakthrough time, and 3) permeation rate. Because proper CPC selection must be based on permeation and degradation tests performed upon specific manufacturer products, you need an information source that enables you to access test results quickly and easily. Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database is that source. It is the world's largest international CPC database, containing over 10,000 results from tests of more than 660 chemicals and mixtures against more than 250 CPC models. Every test result has a complete reference source.
Use Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database as a supplement to your Material Safety Data Sheets to help select the best garments for your particular needs. It will be just as important to use this information to evaluate your existing stock of CPC to determine which chemicals they should not be used with. Furthermore, the powerful searching capabilities built into the database programs help to provide rapid responses in emergency situations, especially when used on portable computers. In fact, searches are even accessible from the U.S. Coast Guard's Cameo™ 3 Navigator.
The Macintosh™ version of Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation/Degradation Database can be used on Macintosh Plus, SE, Portable, or any Macintosh II computer with 1 MB (2 MB or more recommended) RAM and a hard drive. You should have Hypercard Version 2.0 or higher and at least 2 MB of available hard drive disk space to use the programs.
Information from five fields of emergency response first aid information generated from an expert system named First Response fills this volume. The expert system was developed at Radian Corporation and refined over a period of seven years by a team of occupational physicians, industrial hygienists, safety professionals, toxicologists, and chemists. It takes into account chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of compounds and recommends emergency first aid for four potential routes of exposure: skin contact, inhalation, eye contact, and ingestion.
