Content:
MDI and TDI are polymer building blocks used in large quantities and have a variety of applications in industry. As their use often involves large numbers of workers they are also subject to stringent health and safety regulations. This book covers all the important topics concerning MDI and TDI and provides comprehensive coverage on the health and environmental science associated with these. First comprehensive discussion of all known health and environmental information relating to MDI and TDIDraws upon the insights of academic, regulatory and industrial expertsWritten with t.
