Glossary for the Worldwide Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Materials

The laws and regulations governing the shipment of hazardous goods vary from country to country. International regulations are effective for sea and air transport (IMDG, IATA). These regulations, however, include specific trade and technical terms not generally understood by shippers. Written by principal environmental scientists for a premier environmental engineering firm, the "Glossary" describes accurately and without jargon the regulations surrounding the shipping of dangerous goods around the world. It provides the shippers with a handy source to identify their materials and correlate them to regulatory references.
