Epigraph

Dedication

In affectionate memory of Alberta Gordon for her 50 years of dedicated help to many authors, including this one. Alberta edited this work and all eight editions of Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials. She was recognized professionally for her work and personally by the authors she helped. Alberta will be missed.

In memory of George R. W. Lewis and Allen A. Ross; both had a life-ling interest in science facts.

of
our good friend
Gessner G. Hawley

To
Pauline and Grace
for their unending support and assistance

Our gratitude to Alberta W. Gordon and Carol P. Wickell for their professional assistance with the production of this book
