“...this book is a superb contribution to the literature.” (Journal of Hazardous Materials, Vol. 106, 2004) "....This book covers all the important topics concerning MDI and TDI and provides comprehensive coverage on the health and environmental science associated with these. (European Occupational Health & Safety Magazine, June 2003)
- MDI und TDI sind Diisocyanate, die industriell als Bausteine für Polymere verwendet werden, aber für die Gesundheit und die Umwelt nicht unbedenklich sind
- erstmals werden hier Gesundheits- und Umweltrisiken von TDI und MDI gezielt in einem Band angesprochen
- mit zahlreichen Photos, Spektren, Tabellen und Diagrammen
- Beiträge von Experten aus Forschung, Industrie und Behörden
