About the Book
We use the same chemicals at work as at home just in smaller amounts. Government regulations mandate employer and employee chemical awareness at work. This book offers householders guidelines about how to deal with chemicals at home. The use of commercial home products as instructed by manufacturers is emphasized. Special home ‘chemical mixes’ can only lead to harmful exposures.
"Due to a great public demand for the proper use of chemicals, both in the work place and home, this book provides unique, comprehensive, practical insight. It is written in a non-technical, readable style and will be an invaluable reference in the work place, home and classroom. Dr. Jack Valicenti is one of the most provocative and cutting edge thinkers in the discipline of Chemistry".

"I feel very fortunate to have read Mr. Valicenti's and Mr. Howe's book, "Living with Hazardous Chemicals", because it is so important to know about chemicals around the house. You don't have to be highly educated to understand their explanations of the hazards we should be aware of. I appreciated the down-to-earth explanations of the hazards in the real world."
