abstract="Chemical reactions allow for a diversity of  manufactured products. However, chemical reactivity can lead to significant  hazards if not properly understood and controlled. Uncontrolled reactions have  led to serious explosions, fires, and toxic emissions. Recent incidents at Lodi,  NJ (1995), with five fatalities; West Helena, AR (1997), with one fatality;  Paterson, NJ (1998), with nine serious injuries; Allentown, PA (1999), with five  fatalities; Whitehall, MI (1999), with one fatality; and Augusta, GA (2001),  with three fatalities, underscore the serious repercussions of reactive  incidents. These incidents, and numerous others, are compelling reasons to  carefully manage reactive chemical safety. Implementation of fundamental safety  principles--hazard identification, hazard evaluation, hazard control-throughout  a process life cycle is critical for prevention of reactive  incidents.",
