Covering the dangerous chemical properties of 5000 common building materials, this reference guide is similar to Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, except that it is tailored to the building industry. Data is cross-referenced to uses in the building construction industry and organized according to the Construction Specification Institute's (CSI) sixteen division format of MASTERFORMAT. Virtually every project manual containing construction specifications for both private and public sector buildings is prepared following MASTERFORMAT, and it is because of this organizational feature that users will find "Building Materials: Dangerous Properties" a comprehensive industrial chemical reference.
