Bevelacqua, A. S. & Norman, L. A. (2019). Hazardous Materials Chemistry (3rd ed.). Jones & Bartlett Learning.
The book by Bevelacqua and Norman (2019) illustrates that during an emergency, the first responders act as technicians who bridge the gap between the chemical industry that produces various materials that become hazardous in an incident and what happens when a hazardous situation occurs. Armando Bevelacqua, a veteran of the fire service and an expert in leadership services and hazardous materials, and Laurie Norman, an associate professor of Science and Mathematics at the Massachusetts Marine time observe that when a hazardous incident occurs, the technicians and scientists must work together through a language of chemistry to resolve the incident effectively. They can achieve this by employing principles such as chemical principles, the nomenclature of chemicals and other hazards, and chemistry application in response to a hazardous material incident. The book was written to give an insight on what happens when a day becomes terrible due to a chemical incident, the various strategies, recognition, and detection of hazardous materials adopted. Also, it enumerates how they relate to the chemical principle and practical applications that guide the hazardous materials response process. It is a reliable source published by experts in the fire department and chemistry department and reviewed by several experts who ascertain its comprehensive literature review. The book will be helpful in my research to assess the patterns of reaction within inorganic chemistry nomenclature.
Schnepp, R. (2019). Hazardous materials: Awareness and operations to NFPA 472 and 1072 (3rd ed). Jones & Bartlett Publishers.
The third edition of Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations provides firefighters and all first responders with the information and skills essential to keep themselves safe while dealing with the various deadly incidents in the course of their jobs. According to Rob Schnepp, 30 years expert in fire service operations, numerous hazardous materials and weapons of mass destruction are present in the different incidences that first responders have to work. Therefore, they need to know what constitutes dangerous materials, their physical and chemical properties, and their hazards. Rob also outlines the assessment of the severity of an incident, extent of exposure, and concentration levels of the hazard. Also, he evaluates the effects of skin contact with the hazard as the ideal way of estimating the likely harm the hazard causes and the practical responses to counter them. The academic sources will provide reliable information to describe the methods of quantifying hazards at an incident and describe the different hazardous materials.
