Abstract:
|
A blast at a chemical factory leads to fire, and a dangerous gas drifts across town. This book looks at the topic of chemical reactions to explain the properties of chemicals and how they react, what has caused the explosion, and how the resulting fire and pollution can be tackled. It shows how emergency workers use their knowledge of science and technology to make the factory safe, and how investigators can analyze the evidence to determine the cause of the disaster. -- Back Cover
